nanotechnology

Scientists have found a way to use nanotechnology to create a 3D 'scaffold' to grow cells from the retina -paving the way for potential new ways of treating a common cause of blindness. Researchers, led by Professor Barbara Pierscionek from…

Transparent and flexible displays, which have received a lot of attention in various fields including automobile displays, bio-healthcare, military, and fashion, are in fact known to break easily when experiencing small deformations. To…

The human body is made up of thousands of tiny lymphatic vessels that ferry white blood cells and proteins around the body, like a superhighway of the immune system. It's remarkably efficient, but if damaged from injury or cancer treatment,…

A team of researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has developed a nanotechnology platform that can change the way the immune system sees solid tumor cells, making them more receptive to immunotherapy. The…

A study led by an Oregon State University pharmaceutical sciences researcher has produced a proof of principle for a new "universal" means of treating COVID-19. Gaurav Sahay and collaborators at OSU and the Texas Biomedical Research…

The deal comes just weeks after NIST released a report on challenges facing the U.S. chip industry. The report outlined challenges in measurement, standardisation, and modelling and simulation The deal comes just weeks after NIST released…

In the world of biomolecules, none is more iconic, nor more versatile than DNA. Nature uses the famous double-helix to store the blueprints of all living forms, drawing on a four-letter alphabet of nucleotides. Researchers in the field of…

For a few years now, spent grain, the cereal residue from breweries, has been reused in animal feed. From now on, this material could also be used in nanotechnology! Professor Federico Rosei's team at the Institut national de la recherche…

As people across the globe look forward to longer life expectancies, malignant cancers continue to pose threats to human health. The exploration and development of immunotherapy aims to seek new breakthroughs for the treatment of solid…

We live in a world made and run by RNA, the equally important sibling of the genetic molecule DNA. In fact, evolutionary biologists hypothesize that RNA existed and self-replicated even before the appearance of DNA and the proteins encoded…
