Voltmeters aren’t typically associated with life sciences labs, but a new nanodevice that measures voltages across cell structures could open new frontiers for biologists. This article was produced in partnership with the author by Scientific American ...
A research team has created and observed quasiparticles called 3D hopfions at the nanoscale (billionths of a meter) in a magnetic system. The discovery could advance high-density, high-speed, low-power,
Researchers have developed a new superbug-destroying coating that could be used on wound dressings and implants to prevent and treat potentially deadly bacterial and fungal infections. The material is one of the thinnest antimicrobial coatings developed to date and is effective against a broad range of drug-resistant bacteria and fungal cells,
Researchers at MIT have incorporated microfluidics into individual fibers, making it possible to process higher volumes of fluid in more complex ways. In doing so, they have enabled diverse new applications—especially for the medical-testing field.
A new peer review paper offers one of the most comprehensive reviews of advancements to come in contact lenses, catapulting the commonly-used medical device to applications well beyond refractive error correction,
