Since the discovery of graphene twenty years ago, physicists have been looking for materials that consist of two-dimensional layers. This study is about a newly emerging family, the transition metal halides. “Transition metal halides are a new class of van der Waals materials that we have identified as an ideal platform for many-body engineering. We are very enthusiastic about this class of materi

Can a bee’s brain teach us to build better computers? Bees navigate with remarkable precision using less than one hundredth of a watt of energy, while today’s navigation chips often use over 7 watts and weigh about 80 times as much as a bee. In an interview with Horizon, Anders Mikkelsen, coordinator of the European Innovation Council-funded project InsectNeuroNano, tells us about how nature’s nav

Think of the proteins in your brain as delicate pieces of origami. A new study from the Medical Microspectroscopy group at Lund University reveals that polystyrene nanoplastics, commonly found in everyday items like food packaging, act like “clumsy hands” that force these proteins to fold incorrectly. Lead author Iran Augusto Neves da Silva used advanced label-free optical photothermal infrared (O

More than half a billion people are affected by type 2 diabetes – and the number is growing. In a recent publication in the journal Small, researchers explain how nanoelectroporation can be used to deliver molecules that can affect insulin expression through epigenetic means, potentially leading to new treatments. Genetics cannot explain type 2 diabetes, and epigenetics (i.e. chemical modification
