Dec 07, 2021 (Nanowerk News) It sounds like the stuff of science fiction: a man-made crystal that can be attached to antibodies and then supercharge them with potent drugs or imaging agents that can seek out diseased cells with the highest precision, resulting in fewer adverse effects for the patient....
Scientists find material that mimics the intelligence of sea slugs
Dec 07, 2021 (Nanowerk News) A team of scientists has discovered a new material that points the way toward more efficient artificial intelligence hardware for everything from self-driving cars to surgical robots. For artificial intelligence (AI) to get any smarter, it needs first to be as intelligent as one of...
Development of a transparent and flexible ultra-thin memory device
Dec 07, 2021 (Nanowerk News) A two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial-based flexible memory device is a critical element in the next-generation wearable market because it plays a crucial role in data storage, processing, and communication. An ultra-thin memory device materialized with a 2D nanomaterial of several nanometers (nm) can significantly increase the...
Transforming material topology with a drop of liquid
Dec 07, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Networks of cells in nature have inspired researchers to develop their own materials made of interconnected microscopic circles, squares, triangles, and other shapes. The way cells in these materials are connected and arranged leads to novel energy transport and chemical reaction capabilities. Biological materials constantly...
Researchers create contamination test for dairy products that can be printed inside containers
Dec 07, 2021 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have developed a test to reveal bacterial contamination in dairy products well before they have a chance to reach anyone’s lips. Researchers at McMaster University, with support provided by Toyota Tsusho Canada, Inc., have proven a method that will allow producers, packagers and retailers...
