(Nanowerk News) An international research team has developed a new imaging method that visualizes individual lipids in cellular membranes in 3D, revealing for the...

Mar 24, 2026 Astronomers have observed two planets forming in the disc around a young star named WISPIT 2. These observations, and the unique structure of the disc around the star, indicate that the WISPIT 2 system could resemble a young Solar System. (Nanowerk News) “WISPIT 2 is the best...

Mar 24, 2026 Modified lipid nanoparticles shift delivery toward lymph nodes, enabling more potent immune therapies. (Nanowerk News) Penn Engineers have redesigned a key component of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), the delivery vehicles behind mRNA vaccines, to steer the particles toward lymph nodes while reducing off-target delivery to the liver. The...

Mar 24, 2026 Thermal noise in magnetic tunnel junctions, usually suppressed, now serves as a tunable source of randomness for Bayesian neural networks with dramatic efficiency gains over silicon. (Nanowerk Spotlight) In most of electronics, noise is waste. Every electronic component generates small, unwanted random signals caused by the thermal...

Mar 24, 2026 Astronomers have an answer for a long-running mystery in astrophysics: Why is there much less growth of supermassive black holes today than in the past? (Nanowerk News) Black holes just can’t feast like they used to. That’s according to a new study from a team of astronomers...

Mar 24, 2026 An invisible companion consuming material from the naked-eye star gamma-Cas has been revealed as the culprit for curious X-rays coming from the stellar system, closing the case on a mystery that has puzzled astronomers for more than fifty years. (Nanowerk News) An invisible companion consuming material from...

Mar 24, 2026 AI-powered flat optics could revolutionize glasses-free 3D displays by smartly distributing views where users actually look, enabling compact, full-color, full-parallax screens for portable devices.
