An upgrade for open-source, 3-D nanoscale imaging software
Nanofiber carpet could mimic gecko feet, polar bear fur
A new technique that mimics biological nanofiber arrays can grow chain-like molecules into 3D nanostructures.
Heat transfer surprise could lead to thermal transistors
Mechanical engineers find another way to break Planck’s law at the nanoscale.
Holography and LIDAR on the cheap with nanoparticle gel
Magnetic nanoparticles coated in amino acids can modulate light inexpensively at room temperature, and the findings have applications in autonomous vehicles.
Nanoparticles can limit inflammation by distracting the immune system
White blood cells get busy taking out the trash – it could be a lifesaver when the immune system goes haywire.
Reading cancer’s chemical clues
A nanoparticle-assisted optical imaging technique could one day read the chemical makeup of a tumor.
