A team of physicists, engineers, and materials science experts from Children's Hospital Boston and the Masachusetss Institute of Technology (MIT) have combined cardiac muscle cells with tiny 30-nanometer-thick gold nanowires to create innovative heart patches whose cells they beat in unison, which could help repair the heart of patients who have suffered a heart attack.
Yes. In 2009, through an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), scientists at the IBM laboratory in Zurich (Switzerland) were able to visualize for the first time the atoms that make up a molecule. In Kharkov, Ukraine, he went one step further and got a direct look at the structure of a single atom, proving many assumptions of quantum physics.
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology (USA) have developed a tiny flexible chip that uses the movement of the body and the beat of the heart to generate power and power the battery of portable devices such as mp3 players.
Using tiny, nano-sized diamonds to transport drugs to the tumor in chemotherapy could improve the outcomes of cancer treatments, according to a study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
Engineers from the University of Michigan have succeeded in mimicking the structure of the silk butterfly antennae in the construction of a nanopore, a small tunnel-shaped instrument that could help understand neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
A synthetic antibody, made of plastic at the University of California Irvine (USA), has been effective enough to save the lives of a group of mice that were injected with bee venom. This is the first time that a product of this type has worked in live animals.
Physicist David Cox, from the UK's National Physics Laboratory, has created the world's smallest snowman with the tools used to manipulate nanoparticles.
How can we know that a 20 euro note is authentic, that a Picasso is really a Picasso, or that what they sell us as a Louis Vuitton bag is not a copy? Researchers from Valencia have just patented a new system of optical security nano-labels.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
