Home > Press > Exosomes: A potential biomarker and therapeutic target in diabetic cardiomyopathy Illustration of the role of exosomes in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). In response to diabetes, normal cardiomyocytes undergo pathological changes, leading to the release of detrimental exosomes. These exosomes carry specific microRNAs (miRNAs), such as miR-1, miR-133a,...

Home > Press > KAIST researchers introduce new and improved, next-generation perovskite solar cell​ Figure. The illustration of the mechanism of improving the electronic structure and charge transfer capability through Perovskite/organic hybrid device structure and dipole interfacial layers (DILs). The proposed dipole interfacial layer forms a strong interfacial dipole, effectively...

Nov 08, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Most robots today are effectively numb. They can't feel what they touch, making it dangerous for them to handle delicate objects or work closely with humans. Adding touch sensitivity requires covering robots with complex electronic skins that use thousands of sensors - creating two major...

Nov 08, 2024 (Nanowerk News) A Korean research team has developed an innovative perovskite solar cell technology that addresses one of photovoltaics' fundamental challenges: conventional solar cells cannot utilize approximately 52% of total solar energy because they poorly capture near-infrared radiation. Their technology maximizes near-infrared light capture performance while greatly...

Nov 08, 2024 (Nanowerk News) Biosensors play a key role in medical research and diagnostics. At present, however, they generally have to be specially developed for each application. A team led by LMU chemist Philip Tinnefeld has developed a general, modular strategy for designing sensors that can be easily adapted...

Nov 07, 2024 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Power transmission networks stretch millions of kilometers across varied terrain, requiring constant monitoring to prevent failures and maintain reliable electricity delivery. Current monitoring systems depend on batteries that need regular replacement, weather-dependent solar panels, or current transformers limited to alternating current lines. These power limitations...

Nov 07, 2024 (Nanowerk News) When it comes to electrically conductive nanomaterials, graphene — stronger and lighter than steel and more conductive than copper — has been shown to be an excellent choice for a wide range of technologies. Now, researchers from the Florida State University Department of Physics and...
