Oct 12, 2025 A light-activated graphene and black phosphorus biosensor detects Alzheimer's biomarkers in blood at zeptomole sensitivity, marking a major advance toward ultra-early, non-invasive diagnosis. (Nanowerk News) The progression of Alzheimer’s disease begins decades before symptoms appear, leaving a long diagnostic gap that hinders the development of effective treatments....
High-throughput strategies reshape lipid nanoparticle development
Oct 12, 2025 A review maps high throughput strategies that link automation, microfluidics, and barcoding into a unified pipeline, enabling faster, more predictive lipid nanoparticle development for genetic medicines. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Lipid nanoparticles have become central to how genetic medicines reach cells. These microscopic carriers, built from fat-like molecules, protect...
MXene current collectors could reduce size, improve recyclability of Li-ion batteries
Oct 12, 2025 Researchers report that MXene current collectors perform as well as the copper foils being used in current lithium-ion batteries, but they are 3-4 times thinner and about 10 times lighter. (Nanowerk News) The vast majority of consumer electronics use lithium-ion batteries, and with each generation, these devices...
