Pioneers in Science: Marie Daly
This Pioneers in Science celebrates Marie Daly, the first Black woman in America to receive a Ph.D. in chemistry.
Syringe technology could enable injection of concentrated biologic drugs
Researchers have designed a simple, low-cost device for subcutaneous injection of viscous formulations.
Breaking down a cell’s barriers with a medicine-carrying nano-submarine
Researchers have designed a gold-coated nanomotor that can be controlled by infrared irradiation for precise drug delivery in cells.
Micro- and nanoplastics detectable in human tissues
A new study is the first to examine micro- and nanoplastic occurrence in human organs, providing the first clues on potential exposure sources and routes.
Geoff Ozin — Small materials with a big impact
To celebrate his upcoming 77th birthday, we reached out to nanochemist and long-time ASN contributor, Geoffery Ozin, to discuss his colorful career, current projects, and plans for the future.
Are AI models explainable in a way that humans can understand them?
A reality-rooted perspective on “explainable AI” and what this means for the future of the field.
When viruses borrow artillery
Researchers explore the different mechanisms viruses have evolved to effectively seize host cell ribosomes, and the role they play in the virus’ life cycle.
Bridges, wires, and a chameleon: Crossing the membrane’s fortifications
Computational methods allow researchers to delve deeper into molecular processes, beyond what can easily be achieved with current experimental techniques.
