Better organic electronics: researchers show the way forward for improving organic and molecular electronic devices

Scientists have provided the first experimental determination of the pathways by which electrical charge is transported from molecule-to-molecule in an organic thin film. These results also show how such organic films can be chemically modified to improve conductance for superior organic electronics.

Scientists develop tools to make more complex biological machines from yeast

Scientists are one step closer to making more complex microscopic biological machines, following improvements in the way that they can

Nerve cells grow on nanocellulose

Researchers have shown that nanocellulose stimulates the formation of neural networks. This is the first step toward creating a three-dimensional model of the brain. Such a model could elevate brain research to totally new levels, with regard to Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, for example.

Controlling light at will: metamaterials will change optics

Engineers believe that continued advances in creating ever-more exotic and sophisticated human-made materials will greatly improve their ability to control light at will.

Ultracold experiments heat up quantum research

Physicists have experimentally demonstrated for the first time that atoms chilled to temperatures near absolute zero may behave like seemingly unrelated natural systems of vastly different scales, offering potential insights into links between the atomic realm and deep questions of cosmology.

Nanopills release drugs directly from the inside of cells

Researchers in Spain have created nanoparticles which can release drugs directly from the cells

Live cells 'printed' using standard inkjet printer

Researchers have found a way to create temporary holes in the membranes of live cells using a standard inkjet printer. Creating temporary pores allow researchers to put molecules inside of cells that wouldn

New technique lights up the creation of holograms

Researchers have developed a unique way to create full-color holograms with the aid of surface plasmons.
