Unit Cells in Nanostructured, Hollow Ceramic Scaffolds Display Remarkable Strength

The lightweight skeletons of organisms such as sea sponges display a strength that far exceeds that of manmade products constructed from similar materials. Scientists have long suspected that the difference has to do with the hierarchical architecture of the biological materials—the way the silica-based skeletons are built up from different structural elements, some of which are measured on the scale of billionths of meters, or nanometers.

Scientists Develop Nano-Sized Form of Aspirin

Scientists are reporting development of a new form of aspirin — taken daily by about 60 million people in the United States alone to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke — that could extend aspirin’s benefits to people who may not respond to the drug. Their advance toward coping with “aspirin resistance” appears in the journal ACS Nano.

Novel Technique Integrates SEM Images into Interactive rSEM for Visualizing Complex Morphological Features

Only a fraction of the biodiversity on the planet is known to scientists and exploration of new places and habitats continue to yield exciting discoveries and new species to describe by taxonomists. This task is becoming increasingly urgent as a function of the continuous overexploitation of natural resources and destruction of habitats.
