The new #composite fabric based on metal-organic frameworks (#MOFs) has catalysts present in its cavities that are able to capture and deactivate toxic chemicals, #viruses, and #bacteria.
Researchers created a transistor-like #nanocomputr using a #rapamycin-sensitive domain and a #light-sensitive domain, that can control the function of a particular protein involved in cell movement and #cancer metastasis.
A new biohybrid #photocatalyst, containing a light-harvesting protein, can make #pharmaceutical, #agrochemical, and #fuel synthesis more efficient and environmentally compatible.
Using the new #spintronic technology for brain-inspired computing, synaptic interactions between adjacent #neurons could be tuned and they could programmed into mutually different and partially synchronized states.
Binding of multidentate ligands to the surface of lead halide #perovskite #nanocrystals suppresses the formation of surface defects that result in halide segregation, yielding materials with efficient and color-stable red #emission.
New infrared #metasurface-based #sensors augmented with #AI, can be used to analyze biological assays featuring multiple analytes simultaneously from the major biomolecule classes and resolving their dynamic interactions.
#Nanobodies have the potential to be developed into treatment and immunity against #SARS_CoV2 and its novel escape mutant. Thanks to their small size they can bind to the virus in more places than regular #antibodies.
#Supermeres are functional nanoparticles enriched in glycolytic #enzymes. They can increase #lactate release in recipient cells and are able to transfer #drug_resistance.
