“Despite the impressive potential of piezoelectric nanostructures in biomedical field, further research efforts are still necessary for the evaluation of the nanomaterial biocompatibility, retention, degradability, accumulation in complex in vivo systems ...
A new diagnostic will allow men to bypass painful biopsies to test for aggressive prostate cancer. The test, developed by Alberta scientists, incorporates a unique nanotechnology platform to make the diagnostic using only a single drop of blood, and is ...
Thermal techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and modulated temperature DSC (MDSC), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) are proven methods for characterizing the ...
A general rule in optics is that light is insensitive to features which are much smaller than the optical wavelength. In fact, the whole concept of “index of refraction” arises from the fact that light experiences a medium as a whole, not responding to ...
A new way to create extremely thin electrically conducting sheets, which could revolutionize the tiny electronic devices that control everything from smart phones to banking and medical technology has been discovered by Queen’s University Belfast ...
