In the future, the procedure of blowing into the tube will not just be used by police checking for alcohol intoxication, but it will also be applied for testing the condition of athletes and for people wanting to lose that extra bit of weight. ETH researchers have developed a sensor that allows carrying out measurements when the body begins to burn fat with a convenient breathalyzer.
Researchers have developed gold nanoparticles that can be coated to monitor the flow of blood in the smallest blood vessels inside the human body, where the size of the nanoparticles is not more than 100 nm.
Scientists in Germany are attempting to build the world’s smallest particle accelerator – and it is going to be so small that it fits on a microchip.

Engineers at the University of California San Diego are heading a project that aims at developing high-density nanowire arrays capable of being used for measuring and controlling multiple individual cells in huge networks.
Amazon Filters has supplied a leading speciality ink manufacturer with SupaPleat II cartridge filters to ensure the high quality of the UV curing inks they supply through their own sales channels and to third parties selling inkjet printing systems.
Researchers at Rice University have investigated deeply into atom-thick catalysts that create hydrogen to pinpoint precisely where it is coming from. Their findings could speed-up the development of 2D materials for energy applications, such as fuel cells.
With research headed by University of Queensland bioscience experts and funding provided by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the efforts to rid the world of polio have indeed taken another major step.
Researchers from the U.S. and Korea used a simple layer-by-layer coating technique in order to develop a paper-based flexible supercapacitor capable of being used to help power wearable devices.
Researchers at the Rice University have used individual nanoscale nuggets of aluminum, copper, gold, silver, and similar metals—with the ability to tap energy of light and use it for various applications—and have found an innovative technique for developing multifunctional nanoscale structures.
Light-activated nanoparticles, also referred to as quantum dots, can provide a vital boost in effectiveness for antibiotic treatments used to fight drug-resistant superbugs such as Salmonella and E. coli, a new CU Boulder research reveals.
Researchers at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) have been successful in carving structures at the single molecule level by using an ultra-modern electron microscope. The method enables achieving an unparalleled resolution of 1 nm.
In the case of nanoparticle self-assembly, seeing is believing. Engineers from the University of Illinois are studying the interactions of colloidal gold nanoparticles within miniature aquarium-like sample containers to achieve further control over the self-assembly process of engineered materials.
A touch of asphalt could be the secret to high-capacity lithium metal batteries that are capable of charging 10 to 20 times faster than commercial lithium-ion batteries, according to Rice University scientists.
Graphene is single-atom-thick sheet of carbon that has gained global attention as an innovative material. A team of scientists from Kumamoto University, Japan, has found out that we can generate pressure by simply mounting graphene oxide nanosheets one over the other, where graphene oxide is highly identical to graphene.
Aarhus University scientists have developed miniature antibodies (nanobodies) that can be labelled on certain amino acids.
