The DNA-based nanotransporter developed by Alexis Vallée-Bélisle and his team can transport and deliver precise concentrations of drugs: in this picture, doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic drug.…
A quasiparticle refers to a physics concept in which highly stimulated states of matter are viewed as elementary quantum particles in their own right. City…
Tubes, visible in light green, are roughly seven nanometers in diameter — about two million times smaller than an ant — and several microns long,…
The coating only needed one hour to kill 99.7% of a common pathogen called Staphylococcus aureus. A new copper coating could be the next superbug…
In this artist’s rendering of a metasurface, light passes through tiny, rectangular structures — the building blocks of the metasurface — and creates pairs of…
Engineers at Caltech observed an unusual phenomenon in twisted trilayer graphene. So-called “magic-angle twisted grapheneGraphene is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a…
