 Sensing Chip Uses Raman Spectroscopy to Detect Cocaine in Minutes
- A sheet of dielectric material (e.g. silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, etc.) is sandwiched between a silver mirror, which forms the base of the chip, and a hybrid nanomaterial made from silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles. This hybrid nanostructure ...

 Why spinning lidar sensors might be around for another decade
- "Solid state lidar" is actually an umbrella term that covers several non-spinning lidar designs. There's an approach called MEMS—microelectromechanical systems—that involves using a tiny mirror to steer a laser beam. Other solid state lidars use a ...

 Engineers' liquid assembly line makes drug microparticles a thousand times faster than ever before
- The ideal method involves microfluidics, a kind of liquid assembly line that drips out perfectly sized microparticles, one at a time. University of Pennsylvania engineers have now developed a microfluidic system where more than ten thousand of these ...

 Using 3D Nanoscale Imaging to Unearth the Fractal-Like Nanostructure of Bone
- Whether in a heavy elephant or an accelerating cheetah, the performance of bone is equally superior due to its high strength and toughness. Interweaving mineral and protein form continuous networks to provide the strength essential for functional bones.

 Sport and nanotechnology: are the big sports looking to go small?
- Ever picked up an old wooden tennis racquet or leather football and noticed how heavy they are, or how rough the material is? And then wondered how athletes weren’t constantly injured as they used them? Sporting equipment has changed dramatically in ...
