Lined on the inside with virus-binding molecules, nano-shells made of DNA material bind viruses tightly and thus render them harmless. Credit: Elena-Marie Willner / DietzLab…
Multimodal nanosensors (1) are engineered to target and respond to hallmarks in the tumor microenvironment. The nanosensors provide both a noninvasive urinary monitoring tool (2)…
When these self-propelled particles come together, they can organize and move like schools of fish to perform robotic functions. Credit: Kyle Bishop Lab Columbia and…
A team of researchers created a new method to capture ultrafast atomic motions inside the tiny switches that control the flow of current in electronic…
