Scientists have shown that they can detect SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in the air by using a nanotechnology-packed bubble that spills its chemical contents like a broken piñata when encountering the virus.
A new article presents an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) aptasensor for the ultrasensitive and selective detection of human apolipoprotein A-I, using the luminophore, tris(bipyridine) ruthenium (II).

Efficient purification processes that separate impurities from air and water are necessary to sustain life on Earth.
Australian researchers have engineered a quantum box for polaritons in a two-dimensional material, achieving large polariton densities and a partially ‘coherent’ quantum state.
Leading nanomaterials developer Quantum Science has been recognised for its forward-thinking quantum dot solutions at the Warrington (UK) Business Awards.
Graphene is a two-dimensional material that could potentially have a significant impact on next-gen technology, but it could be argued that nobody agrees about what exactly that material is - with manufacturers offering a range of materials with different characteristics, all sold under the umbrella term "graphene".
An article published in Bioengineering and Translational Medicine presents cell membrane nanovesicles that mimic natural exosomes to improve therapeutic oligonucleotide’s targeted delivery into the brain.
