Griffith University researchers are behind some major breakthroughs on the micro and nano scale, with recent research finding that getting more detailed breakdowns on wearable device owners' overall health stats could soon ...
How can Marvel movie character Ant-Man produce such strong energy out of his small body? The secret lies in the transistors on his suit that amplify weak signals for processing. Transistors that amplify electrical signals ...
A study proposes a new way to prevent mosquito bites, based on an inexpensive and readily available biomolecule. Mosquitos spread potentially fatal diseases affecting humans, including malaria, zika, chikungunya, and yellow ...
Microbes may be among the smallest living things on Earth, but bioimaging to understand the chemistry that fuels these organisms could reveal important clues about the intricacies of gene function and the health of the planet. ...
Normally, we have to make a choice in physics: Either we deal with big things—such as a metal plate and its material properties, or with tiny things—such as individual atoms. But there is also a world in between: The world ...
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (or spectroscopy), known as SERS, is an advanced analysis method that extends the range of Raman applications to trace analysis, such as part-per-million-level detection of a pollutant in ...
World-first 'phase change inks' that could transform how we heat and cool buildings, homes and cars—to achieve sophisticated 'passive climate' control—have been developed, with enormous potential to help reduce energy use ...
A novel role for molecular nano-syringes found in the antibiotic-producing bacteria Streptomyces has been revealed.
Each year, an estimated two trillion dollars is lost globally due to counterfeit products ranging from jewelry to medicine. As current security labels and product authentication methods are rapidly becoming obsolete or easy ...
Alloys that can return to their original structure after being deformed have a so-called shape memory. This phenomenon and the resulting forces are used in many mechanical actuating systems, for example in generators or hydraulic ...
