Researchers have discover squeezed light at the nanoscale that propagates only in specific directions along thin slabs of molybdenum trioxide. Besides its unique directional character, this nanolight lives for an exceptionally long time, and thus could find applications in signal processing, sensing or heat management at the nanoscale.

While stem cells have the most therapeutic potential, the benefits of regenerative medicine may best be mobilised using extracellular vesicles, also known in the past as 'cellular dust'. A team of researchers has tested these vesicles for the first time in a porcine model for the treatment of post-operative digestive fistulas.
