Single-enzyme breakthrough powers flexible biofuel cells

Apr 13, 2023 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Enzymatic biofuel cells (BFCs) have long held the promise of creating efficient, wearable, and environmentally friendly devices, but their potential has been hampered by the complexities and high costs associated with using multiple enzymes in their design. A new, groundbreaking study published in Nano-Micro Letters...

Boosting AI with optimized phase change memory

Apr 14, 2023 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Phase change memory (PCM) is a type of non-volatile memory technology that stores data at the nanoscale by changing the phase of a specialized material between crystalline and amorphous states. In the crystalline state, the material exhibits low electrical resistance, while in the amorphous state,...

Microwaves advance solar-cell production and recycling

Apr 14, 2023 (Nanowerk News) A microwave technology invented at Macquarie University will improve the manufacture of solar cells and make them easier to recycle. During the fabrication of solar panels, silicon goes through several high-temperature processes known as annealing. Currently the cells are cooked in an oven. But in...

Safe bioink for artificial organ printing

Apr 14, 2023 (Nanowerk News) The development of biomaterials for artificial organs and tissues is active due to an increase in accidental injuries and chronic diseases, along with the entry into a super-aged society. 3D bioprinting technology, which uses cells and biomaterials to create three-dimensional artificial tissue structures, has recently...

Uncovering the secrets of how chromosomes assemble

Apr 13, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Experiments using extracts from African clawed frog eggs have revealed how a key protein complex is regulated to assemble chromosomes during cell division (eLife, "Cell cycle-specific loading of condensin I is regulated by the N-terminal tail of its kleisin subunit"). This finding could help to...
