29th April 2021 7:30 am 29th April 2021 8:29 am Researchers at the University of Chicago are exploring a potential treatment for Covid-19 using nanoparticles to destroy the virus. The nanoparticles capture the virus within the body, acting as ‘Nanotraps’ which attract the virus by mimicking its usual target cells. The virus binds to the Nanotraps, which then sequester the virus from other cells and target it for destruction by the immune system. Researchers believe it could be administe...

Claiming that something has a defect normally suggests an undesirable feature. Thats not the case in solid-state systems, such as the semiconductors at the heart of modern classical electronic devices. They work because of defects introduced into the ...

Researchers design "nanotraps" to capture and destroy SARS-CoV-2 viruses Researchers at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago have designed a completely novel potential treatment for COVID-19: nanoparticles that capture SARS-CoV-2 viruses within the body and then use the bodys own immune system to destroy it. These "Nanotraps" attract the virus by mimicking the target cells the virus infects. When the virus binds to the Nanotraps, the traps then sequest...

Date Time Understanding Graphene Growth on Insulating Substrates The thinnest material, graphene, is the most promising materials for many applications, such as in electronics, energy storage and etc. For high performance electronic applications, synthesizing graphene directly on an insulating substrate is highly desired. To date, a great deal of efforts has been dedicated to synthesizing graphene on numerous insulating substrates, such as SiO2, Al2O3, Si3N4, BN. It is found that the growth of ...

Quantum breakthroughs help Army, Air Force advance supercomputing 1 hour ago Army-funded research has led to recent breakthroughs in quantum computing. Such advances could lead to supercomputers vital to future military operations. (Army photo) As the Army builds its forces on the multi-domain operations concept for future warfighting, a core problem for today’s technologists is figuring out how to have a constant view of the battlefield and share that information across the globe.

15th March 2021 8:02 am 15th March 2021 8:03 am Scientists at the University of Chicago have developed an adaptive material inspired by bone that strengthens when exposed to vibration. Researchers at the University’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) said that they were able to make the gel material 66 times stronger through vibrations in addition to being able to strengthen only the areas exposed to movement. The team believes it could lead to new adhesives and better ways o...
