Using a metamaterial, the group traps nanoparticles. Credit: Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology At just 1/1000th of a millimeter, nanoparticles are impossible to see with the naked eye. But,...

An international team of scientists has completed the first ever study into the potential impact of naturally occurring and man-made nanoparticles on the health of all types of the major...

When we get a wound on our skin, the cells in our bodies quickly mobilize to repair it. While it has been known how cells heal wounds and how scars...

MIT engineers have designed nanoparticle sensors that can diagnose lung diseases. If a disease-associated protein is present in the lungs, the protein cleaves a gaseous molecule from the nanoparticle, and...

The journal Materialia has recently published the outcome of research (New composite material used for tissue engineering) conducted by a group of researchers including several from the Department of Physical...

Stem cells are cell factories that constantly divide themselves to create new cells. Implanting stem cells in damaged organs can regenerate new tissues. Cell sheet engineering, which allows stem cells...

Research exposes new vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2 Northwestern University researchers have uncovered a new vulnerability in the novel coronavirus' infamous spike protein—illuminating a relatively simple, potential treatment pathway. The spike protein...
