Hollow nanosized needles, or nanostraws, are a promising tool for opening up tiny, temporary holes in cell membranes to deliver molecules or sample a cell’s contents. Nanostraws could also deliver ...

Scientists have combined 3-D-printing with electroplating to easily produce high-quality metal electrodes that can be used as a molecular beam-splitter. Many measurement techniques, such as ...

Stainless steel, an iron-carbon alloy containing chromium and other metals, has a wide range of applications, including cookware, building materials, and medical implants. Due to its biocompatibility ...

Surface plating is widely used to repair or salvage critical components in the marine industry. As many components need disassembly, the repair process is typically carried out when the ship is in dry ...

(Nanowerk News) Shin Horiuchi and Yukimichi Nakao from the the Research Group for Nanoscientific Measurements at the Nanotechnology Research Institute of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial ...

Fraunhofer ISE development also uses recyclable aluminum for masking – removing need for problem polymers. Thin copper contacts mean the silicon layer does not experience much shading. The rising ...
