New magnetically-activated drug delivery systems offer a potentially more effective tool to fight tuberculosis
Journal of Polymer Science Award Winner: Rachel O’Reilly
The Journal of Polymer Science Innovation Award is now in its seventh year, and we are delighted to honor Rachel O’Reilly.
LARP1 on TOP of Ribosome Production
Ribosome production is a considerable energy investment for the cell—rRNAs and ribosomal proteins (RPs) are among the most abundant classes of RNAs and proteins—and their production must, therefore, be synchronized temporally and stoichiometrically to ensure efficient ribosome assembly.
Joined Forces Enable More Flexibility
OLEDWorks partners with BASF to introduce new OLED lighting technology with high efficiency and high flexibility.
Photogravitactic Microswimmers
Artificial photochemically-active microswimmers, with 2D or 3D swimming behavior, can also swim against gravity.
Cloak of Inv sib ity
A true invisibility cloak would encompass an object, and manipulate light, in a manner such that it traveled around the object, rather than reflecting off it. A recent paper reports some exciting progress toward such a design.
Infrared-Driven Generation of Hydrogen Gas
IR-driven transfer of plasmon-induced hot electrons in a nonmetallic branched heterostructure, by combining ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy with theoretical simulations, is demonstrated for the first time.
Professor Helmuth Möhwald 1946-2018
The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces mourns for the loss of a long-standing founding director.
Thermal Insulation: As Stealthy as a Polar Bear
Replicating the hollow structure of polar bear hairs allows an insulating material to provide thermal management with stealth applications.
Optic Imaging to Understand the Healing of Diabetic Wounds
A team of North American researchers demonstrated a label-free and more direct way to observe and quantify microvascular and metabolic healing mechanisms, and the biological response to a topical treatment, utilizing a multimodal microscope equipped with OCT and FLIM.
