Lab-Made Motors Could Move and Glow in Cells
Minuscule motor molecules could emit light as they journey into cells. Continue reading
A Tiny Photonic Nose Captures Odor Fingerprints
A bio-inspired detector the size of a US penny can identify the unique odor profiles of different gases, something that could help in detecting food freshness and product counterfeits and in designing new cosmetics. Continue reading
Ancient lightning may have provided the phosphorus necessary for life
On early Earth, lightning strikes created glassy rocks that hosted abundant soluble minerals, which were rich in phosphorus, a vital ingredient in biomolecules. Continue reading
Addressing a 700-year-old problem: Reproducibility of results
More than 700 years ago, philosopher Roger Bacon argued that reproducible empirical results were essential to scientific progress. Researchers today are finding new ways to address concerns related to robustness in scientific publications. Continue reading
Fluorescent Colloidal Nanomaterial Rapidly Internalized into Living Cells
Researchers have successfully incorporated colloidal nanoplatelets, a disc-like variation on spherical quantum dots, in a biological system. The new “lipoprotein nanoplatelets” were found to be rapidly internalized into living cells while retaining their fluorescence, making them uniquely valuable in live-cell imaging and labelling.
