Researchers Discover Elegant Way to Decouple Organic Nanosheets Grown on Metal Surfaces

An international team has discovered an elegant way to decouple organic nanosheets grown on metal surfaces. After iodine intercalation, measurements at the synchrotron source BESSY II of Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) showed that a network of organic molecules behaved almost as it was free-standing.

Self-Assembling Protein Nano-Cages Could Carry Cargo into Living Cells

In the last century, a 20-sided solid was morphed into geodesic domes. This solid is likely to play a major role in synthetic biology. The geometry of the icosahedron is inspiring a team of researchers from the University of Washington Institute of Protein Design who are involved in inventing vehicles, molecular tools, and devices for medicine and other fields.

BESSY II Scientists Observe Coexistence of Charge Density Waves and Superconductivity

A team of physicists at BESSY II analyzed an artificial structure comprising of alternating layers of ferromagnetic and superconducting materials. The team observed that the charge density waves stimulated by the interfaces were found to deeply extend into the superconducting regions, suggesting new methods to control superconductivity. The findings are featured in Nature Materials.

New Nanoparticle Based Treatment Platform Developed to Treat Deadly Thyroid Cancer

Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a highly life threatening form of thyroid cancer with a mortality rate of nearly 100% and an average survival time of three to five months. One promising approach to treat this type of cancer and others is RNA interference (RNAi) nanotechnology. However delivery of RNAi agents to the precise area of the tumor has been a struggle.
