Jul 14, 2025 Nuclear clock quest spins off a new dark matter detection method. (Nanowerk News) For nearly a century, scientists around the world have been searching for dark matter – an invisible substance believed to make up about 80 percent of the universe’s mass and needed to explain a...
Researchers hit ‘fast forward’ on materials discovery with self-driving labs
Jul 14, 2025 A new technique allows 'self-driving laboratories' to collect at least 10 times more data than previous techniques at record speed. The advance dramatically expedites materials discovery research, while slashing costs and environmental impact. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that allows “self-driving laboratories” to collect...
Glucose-sensitive nanovaccine combines gene editing and immune activation for cancer treatment
Jul 14, 2025 A glucose-sensitive nanovaccine delivers CRISPR to tumors, silences immune-suppressing genes, and activates a targeted immune response against cancer. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Immune-based cancer therapies have expanded the frontiers of oncology by harnessing the body’s own defenses to target malignant cells. Strategies such as checkpoint inhibitors and cancer vaccines...

Researchers unveil game-changing light-fueled shape-shifting and shape-fixing smart materials
Jul 14, 2025 These novel materials can change, fix, and retain their shape reversibly by using magnetic fields and ultraviolet light. (Nanowerk News) Magnetic micropillar arrays consist of tiny, vertical pin-shaped structures, arranged in a grid-like pattern. These micropillars can change their shape to a pre-programmed geometry when exposed to...
Astronomers find a giant hiding in the ‘fog’ around a young star
Jul 14, 2025 Astronomers have detected a giant exoplanet - between three and ten times the size of Jupiter - hiding in the swirling disc of gas and dust surrounding a young star. (Nanowerk News) Earlier observations of this star, called MP Mus, suggested that it was all alone without...
