New way to make self-assembled multilayer films use electrochemistry to trigger click reaction between polymers

New Concept For Multilayer Films

Competition for EU Research and Innovation Programme Name
Create a catchy name for the next EU research and innovation programme

Templated Fullerene Synthesis
Can fullerenes be synthesized from simple and abundant precursors with the help of templates?

Stopping Amyloid Fibrillation with Nanoparticles
Can amyloid fibrillation associated with degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s be stopped by nanoparticles that act like proteins?

Controlling Stem Cell Differentiation
Micropatterned substrate that mimics heart muscles can be used to direct differentiation in adult human stem cells

Endocytic-Targeting, pH-Responsive Nanoparticles
Tunable, pH-responsive nanoparticles can be selectively activated in different endocytic compartments

Single Peptide-Surface Interaction
Investigations into how peptides bind to surfaces show that weak, non-covalent interactions may be the key to new biomimetic materials

DNA Origami
Miniature architectural forms—including a round-bottomed nanoflask—have been constructed by DNA origami

Hot off the Press
Researchers in Australia and the USA have developed a nanoscale Gutenberg-style printing press

Rise of the Micromachines
Self-propelled microrockets that pickup and transport pancreatic tumor cells under physiological conditions have been developed
