A tiny protein binder fuses to a nanopore in the membrane of a cell, which allows ionic solution to flow through it. When the sensor recognizes a targeted molecule, the ionic flow changes. This change in flow serves as the signal from the sensor that the biomarker has been found.
Researchers have developed a new treatment using nanoparticles that can repair lymphatic vessel pumping. Traditionally, researchers in the field have tried to regrow lymphatic vessels, but repairing the pumping action is a unique approach.
How light interacts with matter has always fired the imagination. Now scientists for the first time have demonstrated the ability to manipulate single and double atoms exhibiting the properties of simulated light emission. This creates prospects for advances in photonic quantum computing and low-intensity medical imaging.
Researchers show for the first time that incoherent light emitted by most light sources - incandescent bulbs, LEDs, flashlights - can be reconstituted as a focused, steerable beam of light much like lasers.
Security gaps exist not only in software, but also directly in hardware. Attackers might deliberately have them built in in order to attack technical applications on a large scale. Researchers are exploring methods of detecting such so-called hardware Trojans.
Researchers have developed a breakthrough process for making spintronic devices that has the potential to become the new industry standard for semiconductors chips that make up computers, smartphones, and many other electronics. The new process will allow for faster, more efficient spintronics devices that can be scaled down smaller than ever before. ?
By adapting technology used for gamma-ray astronomy, researchers has found X-ray transitions previously thought to have been unpolarized according to atomic physics, are in fact highly polarized.
Researchers have developed biosensor technology that will allow you to operate devices, such as robots and machines, solely through thought control. The technology has significant potential in fields such as advanced manufacturing, aerospace and healthcare - for example allowing people with a disability to control a wheelchair or operate prosthetics.
