Fishing for the Structure of the Iris
The complex structure of the fish iris is investigated.
Chemically Engineered Fusion Proteins beyond Nature’s Machinery
Bioactive entities are combined into structurally ordered multidomain protein complexes to mitigate selective targeting of a hallmark protein molecule in cancer diseases.
CRISPR-based Genome Editing via Non-Viral Delivery
This non-viral CRISPR-Cas9 delivery vector is ten times as effective at genome modification as the standard plasmid transfection techniques, down-regulating Plk1 expression over 70% to inhibit tumor growth.
Invader Cells as Delivery Vesicles for Various Cargo Molecules
A smart cell-targeting approach for potential use in specific cell ablation.
Good as Cold: Energy from Cold Solar Vapor Technology
A near perfect energy conversion efficiency can be achieved in a solar vapor generation process.
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.
Artificial Intelligence Models New Functional Materials
Artificial intelligence is used to analyze the parameters for creating self-cleaning, superhydrophobic surfaces, and to generate a model for optimizing the experimental conditions.

Nanostructured Water Treatment Membranes Based on Thermotropic Liquid Crystals [Video]
A team of researchers design sub-nanoporous, selective membranes for water treatment using self-assembled liquid crystal (LC) monomers. The membranes show salt rejection ability, ion selectivity, and excellent water permeability.
Heat-Triggered Release: Opening the Banksia Seed Pod
The Banksia delays the release of its mature seed bank until conditions are right for new plants. Now we know what triggers it to let go.
