Aug 02, 2025 Researchers developed a 3D printing-based method to tailor metal alloys by composition and structure, creating stronger, application-specific materials. (Nanowerk News) Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving them unprecedented control of the metallic mixtures, or alloys,...
Smart RNA nanodevices reprogram themselves to silence genes in cancer cells
Aug 02, 2025 Reprogrammable RNA nanoparticles activate only in cancer cells to deliver targeted gene-silencing therapy while avoiding off-target effects, immune activation, and unnecessary drug exposure. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Cancer therapies based on RNA interference (RNAi) promise highly targeted gene silencing, but that precision often comes at a cost. Once inside...
Nanodevice uses sound to sculpt light, paving the way for better displays and imaging
Aug 01, 2025 Researchers have found a novel way to use high-frequency acoustic waves to mechanically manipulate light at the nanometer scale. Potential applications include everything from ultrathin screens to optimized holographic VR headsets. (Nanowerk News) Light can behave in very unexpected ways when you squeeze it into small spaces....
