‘Thermal switches’ made of graphene foam dynamically moderate heat of electronic devices
Aug 16, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Modern devices that use lithium ion batteries, like smartphones and electric cars, seem pretty robust. But try to use one in extreme heat or cold, and you'll see how susceptible they are to malfunctions and low performance due to temperature. Purdue University engineers have developed...

Giant leaps for smart nanobiotechnology
Aug 16, 2021 (Nanowerk News) They’re roughly the same size as a coronavirus particle, and 1000 times smaller than a human hair, yet newly engineered nanoparticles developed by scientists at the University of South Australia, are punching well above their weight when it comes to treating drug-resistant fungal infections ("Polymeric...
