Researchers from the Rice University have discovered that when purified carbon nanotubes were introduced, it had an advantageous impact on early growth of wheatgrass. However, the same nanotubes were found to pose considerable harm when contaminants were present.
If chances are that one has used a bandage to cover a wound, treated an infection by consuming antibiotics, or used natural gas for heating the home, then possibilities are that various advancements in the field of research in nanotechnology at Colorado State University (CSU) might ultimately be advantageous.
As part of an innovative research, scientists from MIT have created nanoparticles with the ability to deliver the CRISPR genome-editing system for particularly modifying the genes in mice. The researchers used the nanoparticles to deliver the CRISPR components, thereby avoiding the necessity of using viruses for carrying the components.
Nanopore technology is generally used for DNA sequencing. It provides a portable, low-cost solution and works both in the jungle and in space. Now, this technology could potentially be used to identify proteins or peptides. Scientists from the University of Groningen have used a patented nanopore technology to detect the fingerprints of peptides and proteins.
Researchers from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created an innovative electrocatalyst with the ability to directly convert carbon dioxide into alcohols and multicarbon fuels with the need for very low energy inputs.
An international team of engineers has created a prototype device with the ability to filter out extremely minute particles from blood samples without the need to send the samples to a lab. The device integrates microfluidic and acoustic cell-sorting technologies, and is considered to be advantageous not only for medical applications but also for scientific research.
Bioelectrochemical Engineers and Materials Scientists from the Cornell University might have developed what seems to be a new, cost-effective electrode material for eliminating pollutants from wastewater.
Biomedical Engineers have developed simple machines out of DNA, comprising of arrays whose units switch reversibly between two types of shapes.
Versatile, light-weight materials with a combination of strength and resilience are vital for the development of flexible electronics, such as wearable sensors and bendable tablets.
A Franco-Dutch International team including scientists from the laboratories of Condensed Matter Physics and Hydrodynamics at Paris-Saclay University and the Van’t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences at the University of Amsterdam has developed an innovative technique for accurately determining, in real time, the fluid flow in capillary networks.
