Rice University researchers Jianwei Huang and Ming Yi have developed a new capability, magnetoARPES, building on angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) that allows researchers to study quantum behaviors they have been unable to resolve using ARPES alone.
Drug delivery researchers have vastly improved the potential of genetic therapies by overcoming the challenge of consistently getting genes and gene-editing tools where they need to be within cells.
New research from the University of Oxford published today (11 March) shows that cold snaps and heavy rain can stunt growth and reduce survival prospects in UK great tit nestlings. However, breeding earlier within a season appears to buffer against many of these weather-related effects.
A multi-disciplinary research team at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and collaborating institutions leveraged their recently developed highly versatile DoriVac DNA origami nanotechnology that is both vaccine and adjuvant as an alternative to current vaccine platforms. As published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, DoriVac vaccines made with different viral antigens produce potent antigen-specific antibody-mediated and T cell-mediated responses in mice as well as in a forward-looking pre-clinical in vitro model of the human lymph node engineered using the Wyss Institute’s microfluidic human Organ Chip technology. The findings are published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.
POSTECH and Pukyong National University researchers develop a conductive bioglue that seamlessly integrates tissues and electronic devices in the fluid‑filled body.
Measuring high aspect ratio and composite micro-trenches without damage is critical for advanced microfabrication, yet conventional coherence scanning interferometry often suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio and limited lateral resolution. A team from Nanjing University of Science and Technology presents FP-CSI, a transmissive near-infrared interferometric modality that combines aperture synthesis from Fourier ptychographic microscopy with quantitative phase recovery of coherence scanning interferometry, enabling robust 3D morphology reconstruction without iterative phase retrieval.
A research team led by Professor Taesung Kim from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University has developed hafnium oxide-based ferroelectric transistor arrays and successfully demonstrated their application in next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) hardware.
