Particle therapy enables highly conformal radiation delivery while reducing dose to normal tissue. However, the presence of nearby organs-at-risk can limit the maximum achievable...

A new mechanically “stretchable” nanolaser based on gold nanoparticles patterned on an elastomeric slab surrounded by a liquid gain can lase at different light...

For many, images from outer space are wonder pictorialized, glimpses of the primordial past made possible with the technology of the future. In reality...

ACS Nano"> Since they are flexible, high-aspect-ratio nanostructures store elastic energy. When released, this energy could be used to destroy bacteria by physically stretching and...

Just as there is no such thing as a complete vacuum, there is no such thing as complete darkness. This is because there are...

Rocket science often seems to typify state-of-the-art technology. The extreme conditions of take-off, landing and space itself, the exacting specifications of the instrumentation required...

The results from the first ever meta-analysis of its kind suggest that nanotechnology could help improve the design of today’s agrochemicals. It might thus...

Light has been confined to a gap just one atom wide by an international team of researchers. While their work is very preliminary, it...

A new technique to synthesize radioactive upconverting nanocrystals that was previously used to extract uranium from ore could be used to make efficient radiotracers...

Bose–Einstein condensation occurs when a gas of atoms is cooled until the de Broglie wavelength of the atoms becomes comparable to the distance between...
