These particles resembling microscopic balls of knitting wool are actually inorganic zeolite particles. The microporous crystalline particles are formed via precipitation as the aluminosilicate colloidal hydrogels evolve, starting as an aqueous mineral solution, then becoming a viscoelastic gel and ultimately...

A new technique, developed by researchers at NC State, UNC, and Michigan, uses an ultrasound “drill” to burst nanodroplets in and around hardened blood clots. As the nanodroplets burst into microbubbles, the ultrasound causes the microbubbles to oscillate — disrupting the clot’s physical structure. Credit: Le...

Engineers have developed a sweat-proof “electronic skin” — a conformable, sensor-embedded sticky patch that reliably monitors a person’s health, even when a wearer is perspiring. The patch contains artificial sweat ducts through the ma...

This strip of metallic wood, about an inch long and one-third inch wide, is thinner than household aluminum foil but is supporting more than 50 times its own weight without buckling. If the weight were suspended from it, the same strip...
