Injectable ‘Smart Sponge’ Holds Promise for Controlled Drug Delivery
In this image, the “smart sponges” are exposed to high glucose levels and are swelling to release insulin.
Snow in an Infant Planetary System
A snow line has been imaged in a far-off infant planetary system for the very first time. The snow line, located in the disc...
Paper-thin e-skin responds to touch, holds promise for sensory robotics and interactive environments
In this artistic illustration of an interactive e-skin device, the intensity of the emitted light corresponds to how hard the surface is...
CERN experiments put Standard Model to stringent test – UK reaction here
New results being presented at the EPS-HEP conference in Stockholm, Sweden, this afternoon (19th July 2013) have put the Standard Model of particle physics to one of its most stringent tests to date. The CMS and LHCb experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron...
New nanoscale imaging method finds application in plasmonics
Infrared laser light (purple) from below a sample (blue) excites ring-shaped nanoscale plasmonic resonator structures (gold). Hot spots (...
Disks Don't Need Planets to Make Patterns
Debris disks around stars naturally form complex structures without the presence of a planet. This image shows...
