Delivering genetic material with MOFs for new therapies

An emerging type of material called a metal-organic framework (MOF) can help in improving the delivery of genetic material for treating disease. MOFs are hybrid materials constructed from metal ions linked by organic molecules. They have mostly been used as delivery vehicles for small-molecule pharmaceuticals, in biomedicine....

New negative emission construction material could mitigate climate change and improve infrastructure

Mitigating climate change is one of the biggest challenges of world's population. Worcester Polytechnic Institute scientists have developed a new material that's a low-cost, high-impact sustainable solution. It will address one of the largest contributors to climate change which is concrete. Between 1995 and 2020...

Nearby super luminous supernova has an aspherical circumstellar material

Astronomers have performed spectroscopic observations of a nearby Type I super luminous supernova. It is known as SN 2018bsz. The observational campaign shaded more light on the properties of this supernova. It showcased aspherical circumstellar material. The study has been published in arXiv.org. Supernovae are...

Scientists develop new material that can absorb and release enormous amounts of energy

University of Massachusetts Amherst scientists have developed a new rubber-like solid substance that has surprising qualities. The study has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The substance can absorb and release very large quantities of energy and it is programmable....

Scientists make a new type of optical device using aluminium oxide

Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe and University of Minnesota scientists have made a new type of optical element. It will improve the performance of telescopes studying radiation from the Big Bang. The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a relic radiation remnant...

Research team chase down advantage in quantum race

University of Bristol researchers have reduced the time to simulate an optical quantum computer. Quantum computers have exponential speedups for certain problems. It can be applied in areas from drug discovery to new materials for batteries. Though quantum computing is still in its early stage. So,...
