Oct 05, 2023 (Nanowerk News) A research team under the direction of Prof. Dr Felix Deschler at Heidelberg University’s Institute for Physical Chemistry has developed a semiconductor that efficiently generates light and simultaneously gives that light a certain spin. According to the researchers, this chiral perovskite material has great technological...

Oct 05, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Creating artificial life is a recurring theme in both science and popular literature, where it conjures images of creeping slime creatures with malevolent intentions or super-cute designer pets. At the same time, the question arises: What role should artificial life play in our environment here...

Oct 05, 2023 (Nanowerk News) A new study may offer a strategy that mitigates negative side effects associated with intravenous injection of nanoparticles commonly used in medicine. The study was published in Nature Nanotechnology ("Inhibition of Acute Complement Responses Toward Bolus-Injected Nanoparticles by Targeted, Short-Circulating Regulatory Proteins"). “Nanotechnology’s main advantage...
