Nov 25, 2020 (Nanowerk News) A research team led by professors from the Department of Physics and Astronomy have created a serpentine path for electrons, imbuing them with new properties that could be useful in future quantum devices. Jeremy Levy, a distinguished professor of condensed matter physics, and Patrick Irvin,...
Phytoplankton disturbed by nanoparticles
Nov 25, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Products derived from nanotechnology are efficient and highly sought-after, yet their effects on the environment are still poorly understood. A research team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), working in collaboration with the University of California at Santa Barbara, have investigated the effects of nanosilver,...
Research creates hydrogen-producing living droplets, paving way for alternative future energy source
Nov 25, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Scientists have built tiny droplet-based microbial factories that produce hydrogen, instead of oxygen, when exposed to daylight in air. The findings of the international research team based at the University of Bristol and Harbin Institute of Technology in China, are published today in Nature Communications...
Novel magnetic spray transforms objects into millirobots for biomedical applications
Nov 25, 2020 (Nanowerk News) An easy way to make millirobots by coating objects with a glue-like magnetic spray was developed in a joint research led by a scientist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU). Driven by the magnetic field, the coated objects can crawl, walk, or roll on...
Using cutting edge technology to bioprint mini-kidneys
Nov 23, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have used cutting edge technology to bioprint miniature human kidneys in the lab, paving the way for new treatments for kidney failure and possibly lab-grown transplants. The study, led by the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute (MCRI) and biotech company Organovo and published in Nature...
Replicating surfaces, right down to the sub-atomic scale
Nov 24, 2020 (Nanowerk News) The ability to replicate materials at the atomic level has attracted significant attention from materials scientists. However, the current technology is limited by a number of factors. Udo Schwarz, professor of mechanical engineering & materials science and department chair, has recently published two papers on...
