Novel Nanoparticles Effective Against Incurable Brain Cancer, Silencing Gene

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the brain cancer that kills approximately 13,000 Americans a year, is aggressive and incurable. Now a Northwestern University research team is the first to demonstrate delivery of a drug that turns off a critical gene in this complex cancer, increasing survival rates s...

Researchers Propose "4D Printing" of Nanoscale Structured Materials Changing Over Time

A trio of university researchers is proposing to advance 3D printing one step—or rather, one dimension—further by manipulating materials in the nanoscale range so that they can change their structure and behavior over time.

Nanoscience Experiments: Molecules Form 2-D Patterns Never Before Observed

Tessellation patterns that have fascinated mathematicians since Johannes Kepler worked out their systematics 400 years ago -- and that more recently have caught the eye of both artists and crystallographers -- can now be seen in the laboratory.

New Micro-Printed Patterns Will Let You Call the Bluff on Forgeries

In order to thwart forgeries, EPFL researchers developed and tested a new miniaturized authentication system. By combining moiré patterns and microlithography techniques, unique imprints can be easily recognized by the naked eye and are impossible to reproduce through currently existing printer or ...
