Protein chains are fed through an engineered nanopore, with subtle variations in structure detected through the modulation of tiny electrical currents.
An international team finds new single-crystalline oxide thin films with fast and dramatic changes in electrical properties via Li-ion intercalation through engineered ionic transport channels.
Researchers have developed 'drycells', microdroplets that encapsulate single cells in a powdery shell. This breakthrough enables easy cell picking and has potential to advance tissue engineering and precision medicine.
