In gene delivery, vectors are essential in the passage of DNA (hydrophilic, negatively charged) through cell membranes (hydrophobic, negatively charged). In addition, therapeutic efficiency also depends on the efficient delivery of DNA to the target site. Due to the many delivery barriers in the ...
Nucleic acid therapy, as a prominent, novel and promising therapeutic approach, has potential in the treatment of many genetic diseases such as diabetes.
Researchers in Australia have developed an algorithm that accurately calculates the size and density of quantum dots needed to boost solar panels to maximum efficiency.
Researchers at Monash University in Australia, which is a member of the Australian Research Council's ARC Centre of Excellence ...
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor materials at the nanoscale (~2-10 nm). Due to their small size, quantum dots exhibit quantum confinement effects as well as size-dependent electrical and optical properties. Since the discovery of cadmium-based QDs in the 1980s, a variety of cadmium- and ...
Early screening of cancer is desirable as most tumors are detectable only when they reach a certain size when they contain millions of cells that may already have metastasized.
Quantum dots are tiny nanocrystals that glow when stimulated by an external light source, such as ultraviolet light. How many atoms are contained in the dots determines their size, and the size of the dots determines the color of the light emitted.
Quantum computers, while still under development, clearly have the ability to outperform conventional computers. They require more advanced techniques and more cutting-edge quantum theory, with advantages in optimizing computational efficiency and computational power. The key to the future ...
Solvothermal synthesis represents a versatile technique for the preparation of diverse materials encompassing metals, semiconductors, ceramics, and polymers. This process entails the utilization of a solvent under conditions of moderate to high pressure (ranging typically from 1 atm to 10,000 ...
