A new photonic effect in semiconducting helical particles with nanoscale dimensions has been discovered by an international team of scientists from the University of Bath, UK and the University of Michigan, US. Here, Professors Nicholas Kotov and Ventsislav Valev discuss their study and the observed effect which has the potential…
Drug testing on advanced cell-based models such as organoids has gained in popularity, but significant technical hurdles remain that prevent further assay miniaturisation and higher assay throughput. Through the replacement of animal-derived basement membranes with wood-derived nanofibrillar cellulose hydrogel (NFC), Dr Tijmen Booij and Dr Christian Stirnimann from ETH Zurich,…
This ebook features insights into the discovery of a new non-linear chiroptical effect for characterising nanohelices in miniscule volumes, and a novel organoid drug-screening platform with numerous eco benefits.
Read about hydrogels that provide defined and tuneable material properties that allow the controlled inclusion of biochemical cues.
