Researchers adapted glutaraldehyde-functionalized glass to hold living bacteria firmly enough for nanometer-resolution atomic force microscopy while preserving high viability and, in one E. coli experiment, continued growth and division. The method enabled comparisons across bacterial species, LPS compositions, and cell orientations, revealing differences in outer membrane struc...

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by pathogenic microbial communities and an unbalanced host immune response, leading to progressive destruction of periodontal soft and hard tissues.

PI (Physik Instrumente), a global leader in precision motion control and nanopositioning, offers the N-332 family of high-force piezoelectric linear stages for applications requiring nanometer-level precision motion, high drive force, and stable position holding, even without continuous power consumption.

Researchers compared the transcriptomic effects of free manganese oxide nanoparticles with pristine and degraded graphene-MnO? composites in A549 human lung cells after 24 hours of exposure. Free MnO? triggered much broader changes in gene expression, including pathways linked to cellular stress and apoptosis, while the graphene-bound forms produced much smaller transcriptional ...

Researchers tested hierarchical hollow carbon nanospheres (HCNSs) as flow-electrode materials for capacitive deionization and compared them with commercial activated carbon and hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres. Under the selected conditions, HCNS-based electrodes removed salt faster, with high charge efficiency and low energy consumption, and the authors attributed these res...
