Researchers have produced cellulose nanofiber (CNF) synthesized silk naturally through a simple tweak to silkworms’ diet. Mixing CNF with commercially available food and feeding the silkworms resulted in a stronger and more tensile silk
Complex three-dimensional nanostructures could find use in quantum computing and magnetic field sensing
New technology may one day help patients who suffer devastating vocal injuries from surgery on the larynx. A collaborative team consisting of biomedical engineers and clinicians has tissue-engineered component tissue replacements that support reconstruction of the larynx
Inspired by Kombucha tea, researchers have developed a new way to generate tough, functional materials using a mixture of bacteria and yeast
A bioink containing both organic and inorganic elements of bone and laden with stem cells could improve treatments of injured or diseased bone
Gold nanotubes can enter mesothelioma cells and destroy them when heated with infrared laser light
Scientists have produced polymers from lipoic acid, a natural molecule, that can be easily depolymerized under mild conditions.
A newly-designed 3D-printed Biomesh effectively minimized postsurgical complications of hernia repair in an animal model
Researchers have discovered that antioxidants can help prevent the damage to conducting polymers caused by transmission electron microscopy
