Researchers redefine what we can build by 3D printing nanomaterials-based electronics with focused microwaves

Apr 21, 2026 New process integrates electronic functionalities into broad range of multimaterial architectures, creating new classes of hybrid electronic devices previously not possible. (Nanowerk News) In a recently published paper in Science Advances ("Three-dimensional printing of nanomaterials-based electronics with a metamaterial-inspired near-field electromagnetic structure"), a team led by Rice...

Nanorobot kills superbugs and destroys their resistance genes

Apr 21, 2026 A biohybrid nanorobot pairs a bacterial virus with catalytic nanoparticles to destroy drug-resistant biofilms and shred the resistance genes they release. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Killing dangerous bacteria is not always enough to neutralize the threat they pose. When antibiotic-resistant bacteria die, they leave behind fragments of DNA carrying...

Non-linear resonance enables a quartz crystal microbalance sensor to detect single nanoparticles

Apr 21, 2026 Researchers boosted quartz crystal microbalance sensitivity to 100 femtograms by exploiting non-linear resonance, enabling single particle and protein detection. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have demonstrated that pushing a quartz crystal microbalance sensor into a non-linear vibration regime can detect individual micro- and nanoparticles, reaching a mass sensitivity of...
