Bauanleitung für Nanolampen
Für die kleinsten Lampen der Welt gibt es jetzt gleich zwei neue Bauanleitungen. Nach diesen Plänen haben Wissenschaftler des Max-Planck-Instituts für Kolloid- und Grenzflächenforschung Nanopartikel maßgeschneidert, die als Positionsleuchten an Zellproteinen, künftig vielleicht aber auch als Lichtquellen für Bildschirme oder für die optische Informationstechnik dienen könnten.

Read moreNerve repair with a crab shell and polyester mix
In the clothing industry it's common to mix natural and synthetic fibers. Take cotton and add polyester to make clothing that's soft, breathable and wrinkle free. Now researchers at the University of Washington are using the same principle for biomedical applications. Mixing chitosan, found in the shells of crabs and shrimp, with an industrial polyester creates a promising new material for the tiny tubes that support repair of a severed nerve, and could serve other medical uses.
