Nov 24, 2025 A new one-step process miniaturises OLEDs to smaller than their emitted wavelength, enabling precise control of light direction and polarisation for displays, sensors and optical uses. (Nanowerk News) Miniaturisation ranks as the driving force behind the semiconductor industry. The tremendous gains in computer performance since the 1950s...
The first fully biodegradable piezoelectric nanoparticle takes aim at brain cancer
Nov 24, 2025 The first fully biodegradable and biocompatible piezoelectric chitosan nanoparticle uses ultrasound to trigger localized stress signals in glioblastoma cells, reducing proliferation and promoting apoptosis. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Glioblastoma is one of the most difficult cancers to treat. It infiltrates brain tissue, undermines surgical boundaries, and frequently returns even...

Acoustic waves could be the key to orbitronic devices
Nov 24, 2025 Scientists identify two sound-driven mechanisms for generating orbital currents, merging acoustics with cutting-edge electron physics. (Nanowerk News) Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the electron’s charge, but researchers are now exploring the possibility of harnessing its other intrinsic properties. In a recent study, scientists from Japan demonstrated that...
