Sep 04, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Every day, people die waiting for an organ transplant. Time is at a premium, not just for those awaiting organs, but also for the organs themselves, which can deteriorate rapidly during transportation. Looking to extend the viability of human tissues, researchers report in Nano Letters...
A new method captures the stochastic dynamics in coherent X-ray imaging
Sep 04, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Coherent X-ray imaging has emerged as a powerful tool for studying both nanoscale structures and dynamics in condensed matter and biological systems. The nanometric resolution together with chemical sensitivity and spectral information render X-ray imaging a powerful tool to understand processes such as catalysis, light...
Elevating precision farming with innovative plant e-skin coupled with digital-twin monitoring system
Sep 04, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Precision farming is an emerging field that uses analysis tools like sensors to collect data on crop plant conditions, such as temperature, humidity, moisture, and nutrient levels. The data collected from these sensors can help to optimise crop yield and allow farmers to promptly respond...
New liquid crystal coatings provide vibrant colors and fast production
Sep 04, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Color plays a crucial role in our daily lives, from the clothes we wear to the screens we gaze at. Yet, traditional methods of creating color, which rely on chemical pigments and dyes, face limitations—they fade over time, can be environmentally damaging, and offer limited...
Multispectral smart window
Sep 04, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Windows serve as crucial interfaces between indoor environments and the outside world but are also key entry points for harmful light and electromagnetic (EM) waves. Typically, managing the transmission and scattering of light requires different materials and devices. An often overlooked yet essential aspect of...
