Modern society is working closer to the nanoscale than it realises. Breakthroughs and advances in developing and manipulating nanostructures have led to technological progress that not only drives imaging and sensing devices but also makes possible mainstays of modern life such as touch screens and high resolution LED displays. A new review ...

While this may seem strange, it's down to the laws of quantum mechanics, which govern the behaviour of the particles which make up an atom. At this micro scale, matter acts in ways that would be impossible at the macro scale of the universe we live in. Quantum mechanics allows these extremely small particles to exist in multiple states ...
Research on soft microrobots and polymer actuators is funded by the National Science Center (Poland) within the project "Micro-scale actuators based on photo-responsive polymers", by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education with "Diamentowy Grant" awarded to M. Rogoz, Ministry of National Defense (Poland) and Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool ...
In response to these shortcomings, we introduce a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor bio-microelectromechanical system (CMOS BioMEMS) based piezoresistive membrane-bridge (MB) sensor for detecting small molecule (phenytoin) concentrations as the demonstration. Phenytoin is one of anticonvulsant drugs licensed for the management of seizures ...
