Delignified piece of balsa wood incorporates a conductive polymer to modulate electrical current
New technology could help overcome spatial resolution limitations of existing X-ray imaging
A novel hybrid chemo- and immunotherapy technique could help treat glioblastoma
New spin-filter magnetic tunnel junction could make a promising platform for spintronic devices
New fabric is 30% lighter in weight than cotton and keeps wearers warmer at colder temperatures
New model of downslope granular movement could reduce the destructive power of avalanches and other dangerous geophysical phenomena
The improved technique does not damage delicate biological cells and could be used in a range of areas from cell and development biology to biomedicine
A new type of neural implant could be used to drive neuroprosthetic limbs and improve paralysis by bypassing injuries to the nervous system
