Sweat contains biomarkers that help doctors make medical diagnoses. Wearable sensors can be used to monitor a person's sweat and provide information about skin, nervous activity and underlying health conditions....

This is the first time that nanosensors can detect and differentiate gibberellins (GAs), a type of plant hormone that controls plant growth, produced and stabilized in living plants (The first...

A research group from the Department of Medicine LKS, Hong Kong University (HKUMed) has developed (Nanoparticle based drug delivery for TH treatment) thyroid hormone (TH) - nanoparticles embedded in adipose...

Pharmacists at Northwestern University have developed a new photonic system (Nanoparticles enable long-distance communication) with properties never seen before in nature. In solids, the atoms must be equally spaced and...

"Every creation, said Picasso, is first an act of destruction." Taking this idea literally, the pharmacologists at the University of Montreal have discovered (Pharmacists create nanomachines by destroying them) that...

University of California, Berkeley, chemists have created a new type of material (The new "chainmail" of interconnected molecules is strong, flexible and easy to create) from millions of interacting molecules...

Wow! While babies have a natural way to let their parents know they need a diaper change, a new sensor developed by Penn State researchers could help child care workers,...

In a new study, scientists at the University of Florida have found (Silver nanoparticles show promise in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria) that a combination of silver nanoparticles and antibiotics...

Combining drugs to treat cancer can be more effective than using a single drug. However, it can be difficult to determine the best combination (Targeting cancer using multi-drug nanoparticles) of...

When temperatures drop below freezing, ice crystals form on hard green leaves. However, they survive (How plants protect themselves from frost) the winter unharmed. Using a special cryogenic scanning electron...
