Mucin Coatings: A Tool to Fight Ocular Dryness
Purified porcine gastric mucins are a promising tool to fight ocular dryness among contact lens wearers when used as a solution for cornea lubrication or as a molecular layer for contact lens coating.
The Role of Nanointerfaces in Hydrogen Storage
Internal interfaces in the Li3N/[LiNH2 + 2LiH] solid-state hydrogen storage system alter the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reaction pathways upon nanosizing, suppressing undesirable intermediate phases to dramatically improve kinetics and reversibility.
Thermal-Transport Biosensor Distinguishes Different Types of Cancer
A novel thermal-transport technique based on the transient response of laser-heated GaN nanomembranes in contact with living cells is used to differentiate between different types of cancer.
