Biological Science & Technology

Recently, scientists have explored some very different 3D fabrication strategies such as kirigami and origami that make use of the science of cutting and folding 2D materials/structures to create versatile...

Although some surfaces have been developed that can combat bacteria, what’s been lacking is a surface that can also kill off viruses. Now, researchers have found a way to impart...

According to a Mongabay report, nanotechnology can effectively treat seeds and roots for increased yield with minimal resources. "The idea is to prepare ourselves with future agro-productivity tools, which can...

Observing the dynamic changes of dissolution in situ via dynamic micro-CT demonstrated in TESCAN CoreTOM. By designing such an experiment, the dissolution of a multi-vitamin pill may be directly observed...

Artist’s rendering shows X-rays striking radioluminescent nanoparticles in the brain, which emit red light that triggers a sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) ion influx and thereby activates brain neurons. Credit:...

A team from Europe and the U.S. led by Miguel A. Galindo has now developed an elegant method for producing individual, continuous chains of palladium ions. The process is based...
