Evidence based medicine has been corrupted by corporate interests, failed regulation, and commercialization of academia, argue these authors The advent of evidence based medicine was a paradigm shift intended to provide a solid scientific foundation for medicine. The validity of this new paradigm, however, depends on reliable data from clinical trials, most of which [...]
Innovative research into DNA nanotechnology has been submitted to the journal, Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology and Medicine, comprising intelligent aptamer-incorporated DNA nanonetwork (Apt-Nnes). This novel technology can be used for imaging cancers as well as for increased drug delivery of chemotherapeutics. The Need for DNA Nanotechnology Nanoscale materials, which include materials that are within the nanoscale [...]
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a novel strategy for identifying potent miniature antibodies, so-called nanobodies, against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants. The approach led to the discovery of multiple nanobodies that in cell cultures and mice effectively blocked infection with different SARS-CoV-2 variants. The findings, which are described in the journals Nature Communications and Science Advances, [...]
Tiny quantum computing processors built from silicon have finally surpassed 99 percent fidelity in certain logic operations ("gates”). Quantum computers store information in the quantum state of a physical system (in this case, two silicon qubits) then manipulate the quantum state to perform a calculation in a manner that isn’t possible on a classical [...]

Novel cancer research has emerged from the journal, Biosensors, to develop early diagnosis methods for ovarian cancer. With the advancement in nanotechnology, this research has included identifying circulating tumor cells through the use of nanoparticles in a simple, cost-effective and simple approach for ovarian cancer. What are Circulating Tumor Cells? Metastasis is a very significant factor [...]
Artificially manufacturing a rare kind of substance known as spin glass, according to a new study, might usher in a new era in artificial intelligence by enabling algorithms to be printed as physical hardware. The peculiar features of spin glass allow a type of AI that, like the brain, can distinguish objects from incomplete [...]
In an article available as a pre-proof in the journal Carbon, researchers used electrospinning methodologies to develop an air cathode built of self-sustaining nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide@carbon nanofiber (N rGO@CNF) hybrid sheets suitable for microbial fuel cells. Microbial Fuel Cells for Bioenergy Production It is critical to develop eco-friendly and sustainable technology in light of rising climate change consequences and [...]
Researchers developed a natural antibacterial texture for use on food packaging to extend shelf life and minimize waste, inspired by the bacteria-killing wings of insects like cicadas. An Australian–Japanese team of scientists developed a laboratory-made nanotexture that destroys up to 70% of bacteria and maintains its efficiency when transferred to plastic. Over 30% of [...]
