A new strategy to create 2D magnetic order

Scientists discovered the spin-valve magnetoresistance at the ferromagnetic SrRuO3 grain boundary owing to the nature of non-magnetic metallic grain boundary revealed by electron microscopy and first principles calculations, providing a new strategy to create the low-dimensional magnetic order via defect engineering.

Sliding walls - a new paradigm for microfluidic devices

Researchers propose a new paradigm for actuation in microfluidic devices based on rigid or semi-rigid walls with transversal dimensions of hundreds of micrometres that are able to slide within a microfluidic chip and to intersect microchannels with hand-driven or translation stage-based actuation.

Nanoparticles offer large potential for brain cancer treatment

Scientists describe a small carbon nanoparticle engineered by the two labs that could both deliver chemotherapy drugs across the blood-brain barrier and mark tumor cells with fluorescence in mice. What's more, this nanoparticle is incredibly simple - made up of only one single compound.

Nanodiagnostics for early stage disease detection

Researchers used nanotechnology in biomedical diagnostics - a process called nanodiagnostics - to create a new, ultrasensitive DNA biosensor. The new sensor could potentially detect DNA-based biomarkers for early diagnosis of cancer and genetic disorders, as well as monitor patient responses to therapies.
