Engineering cellular scaffolding to advance nanotechnologies
By channeling a living cell’s machinery, Princeton researchers Meisam Zaferani and Ryungeun Song are developing a system to control the growth of microtubules. They call this robust nanotechnology platform, “cytoskeletal circuits,” with potential applications in soft robotics and new medicines.
Well-known university to gift new students ‘golden keys’ made with space-grade craftsmanship
The Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) has announced its 2024 admission notifications. This year, each new student will be given a “golden key” made using space-grade materials. The keys come in three different color schemes and symbolize spacecraft crossing the troposphere, stratosphere, and outer space. On Tuesday, HIT announced that they will be gifting each […]
Nanosized blocks spontaneously assemble in water to create tiny floating checkerboards
The scientific community has successfully engineered nanosized cubes that exhibit the remarkable ability to spontaneously form a two-dimensional checkerboard pattern when placed on the surface of water. This innovative research introduces a simple and efficient approach to creating complex nanostructures through the application of a technique known as self-assembly. “It’s a cool way to get […]
Team develops predictive tool for designing complex metal alloys that can withstand extreme environments
Many cooks appreciate the durability, rust resistance, and even heating abilities of stainless steel. However, not everyone knows the secret behind its popularity. Stainless steel contains chromium, which reacts with oxygen in the air to form a thin, protective coating that keeps the steel underneath safe. Nowadays, scientists and engineers are developing alloys that can […]
