Two well-known, abundant, and low-cost materials are finding new life in grid-scale energy storage and sustainable water splitting technologies.
Exploring effective treatments for hereditary hair loss
Scientists are delving into the future of hair loss treatments, from macromolecules to laser therapies and CRISPR gene editing.
Bone healing with self-aware implants
While radiographic imaging can evaluate bone healing post surgery, a smart, self-aware implant could eliminate unnecessary exposure to radiation.
Endometriosis treated by heating magnetic nanoparticles
A non-surgical option for women who suffer from endometriosis, this nanoparticle therapy shows promising preliminary results.
Parkinson’s disease treatment based on artificial enzymes
Researchers in Shanghai report a potential therapeutic based on Prussian blue to tackle Parkinson’s disease.
Scaled and directly integrated PV-EC means big news for green hydrogen
Directly integrated photovoltaic–electrochemical devices could provide a viable path toward a green hydrogen economy.
Biodegradable patch improves tissue repair
Researchers create a new biocompatible patch that could enhance the clinical treatment of tissue injury by speeding up wound healing.
Hydrogel improves stem cell survival in treating Parkinson’s disease in mice
A new type of hydrogel could radically transform a novel stem cell treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
Better artificial periosteum for repairing bone damage
The strong adhesive nature of this artificial tissue combined with its ability to sustain the growth of new cells helps solve long-standing challenges with these types of grafts.
This month in pictures
Bacteria-killing micromotors, microscopic patchworks, and DNA fibers decorated with self-made “smileys” — science has never looked better.
