New experiments and calculations show how the ions improve titanium-bone bonding
New observations are unexpected since these oscillations are usually only seen in metals
Neutral atoms held in 3D arrays of optical traps could be used to simulate complex physical systems
Researchers have succeeded in suppressing unwanted phonon sideband emissions and enhancing zero phonon line intensity using photonic crystals containing these materials
2D honeycomb structures with complex, tuneable electronic properties might be used to realize exotic quantum materials, such as topological insulators
New biomimetic decoys could help in the development of next-generation anti-viral strategies in nanomedicine
New technique accurately measures the tension of a cellular membrane, so shedding more light on how biological cells naturally adjust their surface area to volume ratio
New devices directly detect microRNA in unprocessed blood samples at extremely low concentrations and over a broad range
3D plotting technique shows promise for fabricating patient-specific tissue constructs for repairing bone defects
Not sure yet, but in the meantime unexpected new finding will have important consequences for future technologies based on these vortex-like magnetic spin structures
