Next-Generation Nanotherapy Shows Promise to Fight Against Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known as angioplasty with a stent, opens clogged arteries and saves lives. Despite its benefit in treating atherosclerosis that causes coronary artery disease, this common minimally-invasive procedure still poses severe complications for some patients.

Trilayer Graphene Could Decode Secrets of High-Temperature Superconductivity

The breakthrough discovery of graphene had transformed the world of physics in 2018. Scientists had discovered that when an ultrathin carbon layer, known as graphene, is stacked together and twisted to a “magic angle,” that novel double-layered structure changes into a superconductor, enabling electricity to flow without energy waste or any kind of resistance.

Nickel Phosphide Nanoparticle Catalyst Outperforms Conventional Alternatives

Many different catalysts that promote the conversion of glucose to sorbitol have been studied; however, most offer certain properties while requiring compromises on others. Now, researchers from Osaka University have reported a hydrotalcite-supported nickel phosphide nanoparticle catalyst (nano-Ni2P/HT) that ticks all the boxes. Their findings are published in Green Chemistry.
