Mar 09, 2026 Better mRNA release inside cells boosts vaccine and gene editing performance, enabled by redesigned lipid molecules that grip cargo tightly but let go quickly once inside cells. (Nanowerk Spotlight) A technology that proved transformative at the population level remains remarkably inefficient at the molecular level. The lipid...

Mar 09, 2026 Magnetoelectric nanoparticles embedded in a hydrogel and delivered by a threaded acupuncture needle activate mast cells under magnetic fields, producing controllable, sustained pain relief without electrodes. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Of all the cells clustered beneath an acupuncture point, mast cells may matter most. These immune sentinels sit at...

Mar 09, 2026 By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the essential processes of life. (Nanowerk News) By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial...

Mar 09, 2026 Study of 250 European firms finds organisational bottlenecks, not weak science, are the main barrier to turning nanotechnology discoveries into real-world products. (Nanowerk News) New research suggests that the most formidable barrier to commercialising nanotechnology is not the science itself, but rather the way organisations manage the...

Mar 09, 2026 The latest crop of space-time wobbles includes a variety of heavy, fast-spinning, and lopsided colliding black holes. (Nanowerk News) When the densest objects in the universe collide and merge, the violence sets off ripples, in the form of gravitational waves, that reverberate across space and time, over...
