Scientists have found a new way of enhancing the performance of electrochemical micro-sensors. This discovery could lead to the detection of biomolecules, such as dopamine, at lower concentrations than is possible today.
Magnetic nanoparticles biosynthesized by bacteria might soon play an important role in biomedicine and biotechnology. Researchers have now developed and optimised a process for the isolation and purification of these particles from bacterial cells.
Atomic vapors are among the most promising platforms for constituting the nodes of future quantum networks. Researchers have now realized a unique interface between an extremely thin optical fiber and an atomic vapor at ambient temperatures.
Physicists have discovered an affordable method that makes it possible to use transparent materials for solar cells while preserving their efficiency. The new technology is based on the method of doping but without the use of expensive special-purpose equipment.
Researchers demonstrate composite materials with exceptional EMI shielding in the GHz and sub-THz frequency ranges while remaining electrically insulating. The composites use unusual fillers - chemically exfoliated bundles of quasi-one-dimensional van der Waals materials. The exceptional current conduction properties combined with extremely large aspect ratio of these composites couple strongly to high-frequency RF radiation while remaining electrically insulating in DC measurements.
A team of researchers is working toward innovating and advancing platelet-inspired nanotechnology systems to treat severe bleeding in surgery and trauma.
Researchers used recycled plastic cups and silk cocoon waste to develop a soft and skin-friendly self-powered sensor, which can be used to sense human activities.
Researchers used advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques to see mesocrystals form in solution in real time. What they saw runs contrary to conventional wisdom and their insights could one day help scientists design materials for energy storage and understand how minerals in soil form.
Scientists use theoretical calculations to predict the possibility of 'massless' electrons in topological insulators excited with lasers, which may lead to faster and more efficient electronic devices.
