(Nanowerk News) A breakthrough that’s turning heads in the scientific community: A young research team from Würzburg has experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado for the first time by refining...

Mar 10, 2025 Introducing a rapid single-step microwave synthesis method reduces MXene production time to ninety minutes and cut energy consumption by 75%. (Nanowerk News) MXenes are a lightweight two-dimensional material capable of protecting everything from spacecrafts, mechanical components, and maybe even people, from harmful radiation. Because traditional synthesis requires...

Mar 10, 2025 A novel nanotechnology approach identifies subtle cellular differences, enhancing early disease diagnosis and potentially improving outcomes for chronic conditions and cancer. (Nanowerk News) Early diagnosis is crucial in disease prevention and treatment. Many diseases can be identified not just through physical signs and symptoms but also through...

Mar 10, 2025 A new study suggests lighter dark matter particles may explain mysterious energy signals and ionised hydrogen clouds observed at the Milky Way's core. (Nanowerk News) A mysterious phenomenon at the centre of our galaxy could be the result of a different type of dark matter. Dark matter,...

Mar 10, 2025 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Light can destroy cancer cells, but only if drugs activated by that light are present in sufficient quantities within the tumor. This seemingly simple requirement has complicated photodynamic therapy since its inception. Without a way to directly measure drug activation and cell death, doctors must...

Mar 07, 2025 Newly achieved precise control over light emitted from nanodots embedded in two-dimensional (2D) materials could lead to remarkably high-resolution monitors and advances in ultra-fast quantum computing. (Nanowerk News) Newly achieved precise control over light emitted from incredibly tiny sources, a few nanometers in size, embedded in two-dimensional...

Mar 07, 2025 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Advanced electronics manufacturing demands precise control over multiple layers of functional materials. Each layer - whether conducting electricity, emitting light, or processing signals - requires its own distinct pattern. This currently means using a separate stamp for each pattern, creating an intricate and error-prone process...

Mar 07, 2025 The hydrogel has a unique structure, making it the first to combine strength and flexibility with self-healing capabilities. (Nanowerk News) We all encounter gels in daily life – from the soft, sticky substances you put in your hair, to the jelly-like components in various foodstuffs. While human...
