Abstract:Scientists in China are giving mice infrared vision.A single injection of nanoparticles in the rodents’ eyes bestowed infrared vision with “minimal” side effects.For up to 10 weeks at a...

Dec 17, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have developed new thermoelectric materials, which could provide a low-cost option for converting heat energy into electricity. Materials known as halide perovskites have been proposed as affordable alternatives to existing thermoelectric materials, however so far research into their...

Dec 17, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Scientists have developed a new gene-therapy technique by transforming human cells into mass producers of tiny nano-sized particles full of genetic material that has the potential to reverse disease processes. Though the research was intended as a proof of concept, the experimental therapy slowed tumor...

Home > News > From medicine to nanotechnology: how gold quietly shapes our world April 2nd, 2019 From medicine to nanotechnology: how gold quietly shapes our world Abstract:Gold is also increasingly being used in nanotechnology. A nanomaterial is generally considered a material where any of its three dimensions is 100...

Dec 17, 2019 (Nanowerk News) Since their discovery in 2006, topological insulators have been widely discussed as a promising avenue for energy efficient electronics. Their unique high mobility edge states have a form of “quantum armour” that protects them from electron-scattering events that would otherwise produce waste heat. Unfortunately, practical...
