Home > Press > Acceleration of cancer biomarker detection for point of care diagnostics Computer rendering of the magnetic activate capture+digital counting approach for accelerated digital biodetection CREDIT Alex David Jerez Roman, Beckman Institute imaging technology group Abstract:The detection and quantification of cancer-associated molecular biomarkers in body fluids, or...

Home > Press > New approach transports trapped ions to create entangling gatesAbstract:Trapped ions excited with a laser beam can be used to create entangled qubits in quantum information systems, but addressing several stationary pairs of ions in a trap requires multiple optical switches and complex controls. Now, scientists at...

Jan 28, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A newly created nano-architected material exhibits a property that previously was just theoretically possible: it can refract light backward, regardless of the angle at which the light strikes the material. This property is known as negative refraction and it means that the refractive index—the speed...

Home > Press > Studied for clean energy, carbon nanotubes find new potential in anticancer drug delivery: Short carbon nanotubes in liposome membranes help fuse the liposomes and cancer cells to directly deliver a cancer-killing drug Liposomes studded with carbon nanotubes and carrying a chemotherapy drug dock to the surface...

Jan 29, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in using nanowires of a transition-metal chalcogenide to make atomically thin nanoribbons. Bundles of nanowires were exposed to a gas of chalcogen atoms and heat which helped merge the threads into narrow strips (ACS Applied Nano Materials, "Nanowire-to-Nanoribbon...

Home > Press > HKUST co-led study reveals topology at the corner of the dining table The crystal structure and emergent fractional corner charges of table salt CREDIT HKUST Abstract:A joint research team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and the University of Tokyo discovered...

Jan 28, 2022 (Nanowerk News) With the help of a “playground” they created for observing exotic physics, MIT scientists and colleagues have not only found a new way to manipulate magnetism in a material with light but have also realized a rare form of matter. The former could lead to...

Jan 28, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Dr. Stefan Schiller and Dr. Matthias Huber from the University of Freiburg’s livMatS Cluster of Excellence have succeeded in developing a muscle solely on the basis of natural proteins. The autonomous contractions of the material, which the researchers presented in the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems...
