Nov 13, 2024 (Nanowerk News) An international team that was led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and includes Professor Stijn Wuyts from the University of Bath in the UK has identified three ultra-massive galaxies – each nearly as massive as the Milky Way – that had already assembled within...
Rapid synthesis of gold microsphere array for advanced packaging in electronics
Nov 13, 2024 (Nanowerk News) As electronic devices get smaller, it's becoming harder to achieve high-quality connections that are both reliable and safe from short circuits. Researchers developed the array-ACF (anisotropic conductive adhesives film) using metal-coated polymer microsphere arrays to make these connections years ago, but the bond between the...
Advanced recycling technology to restore spent battery cathode materials
Nov 13, 2024 (Nanowerk News) A research team led by Dr. Jung-Je Woo at the Gwangju Clean Energy Research Center of the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has successfully developed a cost-effective and eco-friendly technology for recycling cathode materials from spent lithium-ion batteries. The findings are published in Advanced...
Self-navigating nanoparticles advance inflammatory bowel disease treatment
Nov 13, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) The human digestive system presents a formidable challenge for medication delivery. Powerful stomach acids, protective barriers, and complex immune responses make it difficult for therapeutic compounds to reach their intended targets. This challenge is particularly acute in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), where inflammation creates additional...
effective and efficient tools in nanoplastic toxicity research
Nov 13, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Plastic pollution has become a growing crisis for aquatic environments, with nanoplastics being particularly hazardous due to their minuscule size and broad dispersal. Unlike larger plastic fragments, nanoplastics infiltrate cellular systems and affect organisms in intricate ways. Given these risks, an in-depth understanding of nanoplastic...
