Researchers give insight into how biocompatible photothermal nanofibers were developed, and how, upon laser irradiation, cells that come in contact with those nanofibers become permeabilized and can be transfected with a variety of effector molecules, including CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complexes and siRNA.
A research team transferred chirality from the molecular scale to a microscale to extend material platforms and applications. The optical activity from this novel chiral material encompasses to short-wave infrared region.
The ultimate goal of furthering this human-machine interface is to give touch devices the ability to provide users with a richer touch-based experience by equipping the technology with the ability to mimic the feeling of physical objects.
Using natural silk from bagworms and a synthetic conducting polymer, researchers have developed a strong conducting fiber that demonstrates promise for flexible electronic materials.
Sulfur-based chemical groups coax pyrene molecules into a brickwork crystal structure that offers enhanced electrical properties in a transistor device.
