A novel method for early disease detection using DNA droplets

The production of aqueous droplets in macromolecules by liquid-liquid phase separation (or coacervation) is a hot topic in biosciences study. DNA is particularly interesting among the different macromolecules that form droplets because it is predictable and programmable, both of which are desirable properties in...

Scientists used nanorobots to help clean heavy metals from polluted water

Scientists have developed nanorobots capable of removing heavy metals from polluted water. The study has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Scientists described their nanorobots and how well they worked when tested. Previous research has shown that heavy metals make their way into the water table through...

Arrays of metallic nanoparticles can form an optical cavity tunable by liquid crystals

The manuscript "Electric tuning and switching of the resonant response of nanoparticle arrays with liquid crystals" by Erik van Heijst and co-workers has been selected as featured article in the last issue of the Journal of Applied Physics. In this article, it is shown how...

Researchers create strong synthetic enamel similar to natural tooth covering

Beihang University, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology and Michigan Institute of Translational Nanotechnology scientists have developed a synthetic enamel with properties similar to natural tooth enamel. The study has been published in the journal Science. Scientists described their enamel and how well it...

Scientists build a silicon quantum computer chip atom by atom

University of Melbourne researchers have found a technique for embedding single atoms in a silicon wafer one-by-one. The new technology has the potential to make quantum computers using the same methods. These methods have given us cheap and reliable conventional devices which contains billions...

Researchers develop blueprint of nanoparticles to cure lung inflammation

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the annihilating impact of acute lung inflammation. This is a part of acute respiratory distress syndrome which is the dominant cause of death in COVID-19. A new way to the diagnosis and treatment of ARDS comes from studying how neutrophils...
