Lighting the way for nanotube innovation

Aug 07, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Scientists have learned how to place crystalline defects in new materials with atomic-scale precision. This enables materials that can control excitons—energy carriers that are similar to subatomic particles. New research (Chemistry of Materials, "Optical Effects of Divalent Functionalization of Carbon Nanotubes") shows that, by precisely...

Hydrogel holds life-giving cells longer

Aug 06, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Heart muscle becomes damaged and cardiac function is affected when blood vessels feeding the heart are blocked. A new stem-cell-carrying hydrogel helps mice recover from this condition, called myocardial infarction, by stimulating formation of new blood vessels. Developed by a team of scientists at Kansai...
