Researchers engineered cell-like nanoparticles that target only the immune cells driving an autoimmune reaction, leaving the rest of the immune system intact and healthy. The nanoparticles greatly delayed, and in some animals even prevented, severe disease in a mouse model of arthritis.
Researchers developed a novel 'etching-swelling-planting' strategy following interfacial polymerization to prepare a mix-charged nanofiltration membrane for wastewater treatment.
Researchers simulated different patterns of water-attracting and water-repelling groups lining a filter's porous membrane and found optimal arrangements that should let water through easily and slow down some contaminants.
Scientists report a novel way to produce reinforced resin composite materials using clay particles with the potential to lower carbon emission compared to conventional carbon particles.
Researchers have discovered a never-before-seen form of ruthenium phosphide with an unusual configuration of atoms and electrons in its cooled state. This may resolve the puzzle of how a metal can be a conductor at high temperatures, but an insulator at lower temperatures.
