Researchers from Yale University funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) have developed a sunscreen based on nanoparticles that carry UV-blocking elements. The particles...
One of the latest revolutions at the intersection of medicine and technology are wearable electronics, although still a technology in development, here I want to...
Researchers from Penn University have developed the thinnest film that can be manipulated. The aluminum oxide corrugated plates, thousands of times thinner than a paper sheet,...
A new imaging device can map the interior of a cell in 3D at the nanoscale. The special mass spectrometer, developed by engineers at Colorado...
Researchers from Emory University have developed a nano-robot based on rolling DNA that moves faster than any previously designed DNA motors. The technique, based on...
Engineers from Donghua University in Shanghai have developed a graphene-based paper that can walk and fold itself. Inspired by origami, the nanostructure can be excited by light...
University researchers W. E. Moerner, E. Betzig and S. W. Hell won the 2014 Nobel Prize for their development of super-resolution microscopy, a technique that breaks the...
Researchers from the University of California, San Diego have discovered a new technique to isolate nanoparticles from blood plasma. An oscillating electric field can separate nanoparticles...
