Opila’s team developing novel planetary- and geologically inspired high-temperature materials under a Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University...

Dec 09, 2023 (Nanowerk News) When we last checked in with Caltech's Kerry Vahala three years ago, his lab had recently reported the development of a new optical device called a turnkey frequency microcomb that has applications in digital communications, precision time keeping, spectroscopy, and even astronomy. This device, fabricated...

Dec 09, 2023 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Nanotechnology – the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale – has opened up astonishing possibilities across scientific disciplines. In particular, the bottom-up assembly of nanoscale building blocks promises affordable mass-production of intricate devices with powerful capabilities. However, serious hurdles remain in scaling...

Home > Press > VUB team develops breakthrough nanobody technology against liver inflammation Abstract:“During a previous research project financed by an ERC Starting Grant, my team discovered that a specific type of molecule, pannexins, played an important role in certain inflammatory diseases,” says Vinken. “Pannexins are tube-like molecules found in...

Dec 09, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Researchers have long sought to develop versatile tools that allow precise manipulation and identification of DNA and other biological nanoparticles. Optical tweezers, which use lasers to trap small particles, offer contactless control but have lacked the capability to recognize specific DNA sequences. At the same...

Home > Press > University of Toronto researchers discover new lipid nanoparticle that shows muscle-specific mRNA delivery, reduces off-target effects: Study findings make significant contribution to generating tissue-specific ionizable lipids and prompts rethinking of mRNA vaccine design princi A team of researchers based at the University of Toronto’s (U of...
