By using a gold nanoparticle instead of an inactivated virus, scientists have safely delivered gene-editing tools in lab models of HIV and inherited blood disorders. This advance could help make gene therapy more practical by simplifying the way gene-editing instructions are delivered to cells.
Researchers have simplified the synthesis of a unique, nearly two-dimensional form of iron oxide with strong magnetic properties that is easy to stack atop other 2-D materials. The material, epsilon iron(III) oxide, shows promise as a building block for exotic nanoscale structures that could be useful for spintronic devices, electronic, or storage applications that take advantage of not only the charge of electrons but also their spin states.

Researchers have developed a new methodology that can be used to create a class of stretchable polymer composites with enhanced electrical and thermal properties. These materials are promising candidates for use in soft robotics, self-healing electronics, and medical devices.

Researchers have developed a new platform that can image single molecules in three dimensions. The platform uses spectroscopic single-molecule localization microscopy, a tool that can simultaneously capture the spatial information of single molecules and their spectroscopic signatures.

Researchers have discovered that a plant virus could deliver pesticide molecules deeper below the ground to places that are normally beyond their reach. This discovery could help farmers better manage difficult pests – such as parasitic nematodes, which wreak havoc on plant roots deep in the soil – with less pesticide.
