Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed a new rapid testing method for COVID-19—an adhesive bandage that relies on gold nanoparticles to quickly detect the immune antibodies in the bloodstream.
Gold is a precious metal that has always fascinated humans. From Priam's Treasure to the legend of El Dorado, gold—regarded as the noblest of metals—has been a symbol of splendor and wealth in many civilizations. Historically, ...
When organic pollutants such as dyes, agricultural chemicals, and pharmaceuticals enter waterways all around the world, they can harm the environment and human health—and removing them can be incredibly difficult.
A new form of low-cost, 3D-printed water pollution sensor could make a splash in the world of environmental monitoring, its developers say.
To develop cancer drugs, researchers often have to make tough trade-offs. Most drugs potent enough to kill tumors also cause unpleasant side effects—and may end up doing more harm than good. Now, researchers and clinicians ...
The first rapid test for mpox, more commonly known as monkeypox, has been developed by a team of researchers led by Penn State. The selective molecular sensor can detect the virus within minutes, without the use of any high-end ...
When doctors are examining suspected cancer cases, they turn to biomarker tests to help make a diagnosis.
Correlative light electron microscopy (CLEM) is a powerful tool in bioimaging, as it combines the ability to image living cells over large fields of view with molecular specificity using light microscopy (LM) with the high ...
The woodlouse goes by many names: roly-poly, pill bug, potato bug, tomato bug, butchy boy, cheesy bob and chiggy pig, to name just a few. It is best known for contracting into a ball when agitated. This crustacean (yes, it's ...
Laser-induced electrochemical deposition of metals on metals relies possibly on thermal and defect generation effects. When semiconductor substrates are chosen, locally photogenerated electrons can reduce metal ions resulting ...
