Self-healing, flexible electronic material restores functions after many breaks
http://phys.org/news/2016-05-self-healing-flexible-electronic-material-functions.html
Researchers have developed a flexible electronic material that self-heals to restore many functions, even after multiple breaks. Here, the material is shown being cut in half. The healed material is still able to be stretched and hold weight. Credit: Qing Wang / Penn State
Electronic materials have been a major stumbling block for the advance of flexible electronics because existing materials do not...

The CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing complex, here shown editing DNA (in blue), has been modified to target RNA.
Researchers who discovered a molecular “scissors” for snipping genes have now developed a similar approach for ...

Nanotechnology is revolutionizing our future!
http://www.nano2all.eu/newsletters/news-1/index.html
Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that involves the design, characterization, production, and application of structures, devices, and systems by controlled manipulation of size and shape at the nanometer scale. It is already used in every day products. It is in your toothpaste, sun cream, computer, clothes and it is also even in your food.

To study certain aspects of cells, researchers need the ability to take the innards out, manipulate them, and put them back. Options for this kind of work are limited, but researchers reporting May 10 in Cell Metabolism describe a "nanoblade"...

Split light wave switches nano-enhancers of light on and off
A field of metal nanopyramids enhances light from the surrounding molecules, but can also disrupt the energy supply of those molecules by absorbing the incoming light. Mohammad Ramezani and his colleagues discovered how they can use interference to modulate the nanoantennae to optimise the amount of light absorbed and minimise the amount of light wasted.
