(Nanowerk News) A new technique in building DNA structures at a microscopic level has the potential to advance drug delivery and disease diagnosis, a study suggests. A team of scientists, from the ...

(Nanowerk News) As consumer electronics become ever more compact, while still boasting increased processing power, the need to manage waste heat from microcircuits has grown to become a major concern.

(Nanowerk News) Boronic acid has been used in organic chemistry for decades, even though it is not present in any organism. ‘It gives rise to different chemical reactions than those we find in nature, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics boast impressive strength and durability, but their inherent rigidity and brittleness have long hindered applications demanding flexibility, such as filters, sensors, ...

(Nanowerk News) In the 1880s Heinrich Hertz discovered that a spark jumping between two pieces of metal emits a flash of light – rapidly oscillating electromagnetic waves – which can be picked up by ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope may have detected atmospheric gases surrounding 55 Cancri e, a hot rocky exoplanet 41 light-years from Earth. This is the best ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in the emerging field of spatial computing have developed a prototype augmented reality headset that uses holographic imaging to overlay full-color, 3D moving images on the ...

(Nanowerk News) In daily life, when two objects are “indistinguishable,” it’s due to an imperfect state of knowledge. As a street magician scrambles the cups and balls, you could, in principle, keep ...

(Nanowerk News) Since the discovery of quantum mechanics more than a hundred years ago, it has been known that electrons in molecules can be coupled to the motion of the atoms that make up the ...

(Nanowerk News) When old food packaging, discarded children’s toys and other mismanaged plastic waste break down into microplastics, they become even harder to clean up from oceans and waterways.

The Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) announced that a team of researchers led by Senior Researcher Sang-Youp Yim of the Advanced Photonics Research Institute and collaborators from ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Artificial intelligence has rapidly progressed in recent years, transforming fields from healthcare to finance to transportation. AI systems can now match or exceed human-level ...
