Jun 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine have discovered a possible new approach in treating solid tumors through the creation of a novel nanoparticle. Solid tumors are found in cancers such as breast, head and neck, and colon cancer. In the study, Xin Ming,...

Jun 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have imaged the debris disk of the nearby star HD 53143 at millimeter wavelengths for the first time, and it looks nothing like they expected. Based on early coronagraphic data, scientists expected ALMA to confirm the debris...

Jun 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Watch for the patterns created as the circles move across each other. Those patterns, created by two sets of lines offset from each other, are called moiré (pronounced mwar-AY) effects. As optical illusions, moiré patterns create neat simulations of movement. But at the atomic scale,...

Jun 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Advances in nanotechnology have made it possible to fabricate structures out of DNA for use in biomedical applications like delivering drugs or creating vaccines, but new research in mice investigates the safety of the technology. Using a technique called DNA Origami (DO) – a process...

Jun 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Would you like to help in some research on the regulation of what future AI-driven nanomedicines should look like? If so, researchers at the University of Bristol are looking for volunteers to discuss ethical and regulatory issues of using AI driven cancer therapies with swarm...

Jun 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The ‘dual robot’ drone, developed at Imperial College London and tested at Empa and the aquatic research institute Eawag in Switzerland, has successfully measured water in lakes for signs of microorganisms and algal blooms, which can pose hazards to human health, and could in future...

Jun 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) From a zoomed out, distant view, star-forming cloud L483 appears normal. But when a Northwestern University-led team of astrophysicists zoomed in closer and closer, things became weirder and weirder. As the researchers peered closer into the cloud, they noticed that its magnetic field was curiously...

Jun 13, 2022 (Nanowerk News) The speed of magnetizing a material has been discovered by an international team of scientists. The researchers from Lancaster University, University of California San Diego, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and Radboud University have shed light on one of the most intriguing questions of...

Jun 13, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Electronically conductive fibres are already in use in smart textiles, but in a recently published research article ionically conductive fibres have proven to be of increasing interest. The so called ionofibres achieve higher flexibility, durability and match the type of conduction our body uses. In...

Jun 13, 2022 (Nanowerk News) An international team of researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin, University College London and ELI-ALPS in Szeged, Hungary, has demonstrated attosecond-pump attosecond-probe spectroscopy to study non-linear multi-photon ionization of atoms. The obtained results provide insights into one of the most fundamental processes in...
