Jul 31, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Scientists, under the guidance of Professor Barbara Pierscionek from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), have achieved a groundbreaking breakthrough by utilizing nanotechnology to construct a 3D 'scaffold' capable of cultivating cells from the retina. This pioneering advancement opens the door to potential revolutionary treatments for a...

Jul 31, 2023 (Nanowerk News) An asteroid discovery algorithm — designed to uncover near-Earth asteroids for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s upcoming 10-year survey of the night sky — has identified its first “potentially hazardous” asteroid, a term for space rocks in Earth’s vicinity that scientists like to keep an...

Jul 31, 2023 (Nanowerk News) It isn’t just your refrigerator that has magnets on it. The earth, the stars, galaxies, and the space between galaxies are all magnetized, too. The more places scientists have looked for magnetic fields across the universe, the more they’ve found them. But the question of...

Jul 31, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Automating the construction of three-dimensional structures that are 10’s of millimeters in size would revolutionize manufacturing of devices for optical, electrical and biomedical applications. An economical process for constructing such 3D microstructures would be to "program" the constituent parts to spontaneously come together and build...

Jul 31, 2023 (Nanowerk News) DNA sequencing technology, i.e., determining the order of nucleotide bases in a DNA molecule, is central to personalized medicine and disease diagnostics, yet even the fastest technologies require hours, or days, to read a complete sequence. Now, a multi-institutional research team led by The Institute...
