Feb 01, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Kumamoto University researchers have created complex 3D kidney tissue in the lab solely from cultured mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells ("Generation of the organotypic kidney structure by integrating pluripotent stem cell-derived renal stroma"). These organoids could lead the way to better kidney research and, eventually,...
researchers unveil the excellent heat dissipation properties of layered semiconductors down to the monolayer
Feb 01, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The increasing demand for extremely small components and devices has led scientists to search for new materials that could best meet these needs. Two-dimensional layered materials (2D materials) – which can be as thin as one or a few atomic layers and are strongly bonded...
Even dying stars can still give birth to planets
Feb 01, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Planets such as Earth, and all other planets in our solar system, were formed not long after the Sun. Our Sun started to burn 4.6 billion years ago, and in the next million years, the matter around it clumped into protoplanets. The birth of the...
