A combination of ultrasound and nanobubbles allows cancerous tumors to be destroyed
Nov 21, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A new technology developed at Tel Aviv University makes it possible to destroy cancerous tumors in a targeted manner, via a combination of ultrasound and the injection of nanobubbles into the bloodstream. According to the research team, unlike invasive treatment methods or the injection of...
A possible game changer for next generation microelectronics
Nov 21, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Tiny magnetic whirlpools could transform memory storage in high performance computers. Magnets generate invisible fields that attract certain materials. A common example is fridge magnets. Far more important to our everyday lives, magnets also can store data in computers. Exploiting the direction of the magnetic...
Intense femtosecond light pulses in the mid-infrared for spectroscopic and technical applications
Nov 21, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A new light source generates ultrashort infrared pulses at wavelengths around 12 µm with previously unattained peak intensity and stability. First experiments in vibrational spectroscopy on water demonstrate the high potential of the system for applications. Ultrashort light pulses represent an important tool in basic...
Combining additive manufacturing with energetic ferroelectric materials for guiding chemical energy release
Nov 21, 2022 (Nanowerk Spotlight) 'Chemical energy' is a term for the energy stored in the covalent bonds that are holding atoms together in the form of molecules. So-called 'energetic materials' store a large amount of this chemical energy that, when released, can be converted into electric, thermal, or mechanical...
