Dec 20, 2025 Bacterial patterns invisible to the eye reveal hidden information only with correct biochemical triggers, creating anti-counterfeiting codes that are harder to copy or forge. (Nanowerk Spotlight) A petri dish sits under ultraviolet light, revealing a glowing QR code formed entirely from living bacterial colonies. Scan it with...
Nanofluidic chips could make nanopore sensing practical for diagnostics
Dec 19, 2025 Linking nanopores with nanofluidic chips can slow molecules, cut noise, scale measurements, and enable early disease detection and precision diagnostics. (Nanowerk News) When disease begins forming inside the human body, something subtle happens long before symptoms appear. Individual molecules such as DNA, RNA, peptides, or proteins begin...
Laser-assisted imprinting patterns ultrathin nanowires on flexible transparent films
Dec 19, 2025 A scalable nanofabrication method uses electric-field alignment and picosecond laser welding to imprint patterned silver nanowire networks on polymer films. (Nanowerk News) A breakthrough development in nanofabrication could help support the development of new wireless, flexible, high-performance transparent electronic devices. Researchers from the University of Glasgow’s James...
