(Nanowerk News) From cells that migrate to tissues that heal, nature abounds with systems capable of sensing and adapting to their surroundings. Replicating this level of adaptability in synthetic ...

The trajectory of a biological particle moving across two distinct regions of space, each with different physical properties that alter how the particle diffuses. As it crosses the boundary, its ...

Vesicle-based prototissue fibers can be shaped into specific patterns through controlled assembly. Researchers demonstrated this by creating letter-shaped patterns at the microscale, showcasing the ...

(Nanowerk News) Understanding the nitty gritty of how molecules interact with each other in the real, messy, dynamic environment of a living body is a challenge that must be overcome in order to ...

A new imaging technology uses polarized 'optical vortices' to provide a detailed, dynamic view of molecules in motion. Understanding the nitty gritty of how molecules interact with each other in the ...

Strongly interacting electrons are central to many unusual electric and magnetic properties of materials. However, investigating these systems has been challenging, given their complexity. Using ...

Actin filaments are protein fibers that make up the internal skeleton of the cell. As active elements of our cells, actin filaments support the cell's fusion, movement and are involved in many other ...

A miniature generator can convert the movements of molecules in room temperature liquid into electricity. The device could one day be used to power devices like medical implants or even small ...

When room-temperature washers are placed in hot water, the temperature of the washers increases and the temperature of the water decreases. Energy from the water is transferred to the washers. When ...

Atoms never stay still. Even in their lowest energy state, they vibrate due to quantum effects. Now, for the first time, scientists have directly observed this jittery movement in a complex ...
