Feb 22, 2026 Scientists developed a charge-free polymer-DNA complex that boosts cellular DNA uptake 14-fold in mice, avoiding the harmful inflammation caused by current methods. (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new molecule which carries DNA into biological cells, to treat or vaccinate against illnesses (ACS...
Shark-inspired electronic skin gives robotic hands the ability to sense objects without touching them
Feb 22, 2026 A flexible electronic skin inspired by shark electroreception lets robotic hands identify object shapes and materials through both non-contact electrostatic scanning and touch-based sensing. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Sharks possess a sensory ability that most animals lack: they detect faint electric fields produced by the muscle contractions of nearby...
