Scientists Construct 5-Micron Engine Generating Effective Heat of 13 Million Degrees Celsius Without Burning
A team of scientists has created a microscopic engine made from a 5-micrometre glass bead suspended in an electric field. By applying oscillating voltages, the bead moves as if it’s in an environment of 13 million°C, even though it remains cool. The study reveals bizarre thermodynamic effects at tiny scales, offering clues to how natural molecul...

Scientists Visualize New Gold Quantum Needles at Nanoscale
Scientists at the University of Tokyo have visualized gold nanoclusters in their earliest growth stage and discovered new elongated structures called gold quantum needles. These exhibit remarkable quantum properties, opening possibilities for sharper biomedical imaging and more efficient light-energy conversion in future applications.

New Nanoscale Optical Sensors Can Measure Magnitude of Force, Claims Study
Columbia University researchers have developed nanoscale optical sensors capable of measuring forces with unmatched sensitivity and range. These sensors, which rely on light for remote operation, represent a significant innovation in force measurement technology. By employing the photon-avalanching effect in lanthanide-doped nanocrystals, the senso...

Scientists Test Nanorobots to Treat Brain Aneurysms
Scientists have created nanorobots that could revolutionise the treatment of brain aneurysms by delivering clot-forming drugs directly to the weakened vessel area, reducing the risk of stroke. These robots, smaller than blood cells, were successfully tested in rabbits. The nanobots are guided using magnetic fields and heat, which release the drug a...

Iron Nanowires for Bone Cell Formation Developed, Could Pave Way for Degenerative Bone Disease Treatments
In a remarkable finding, scientists have developed a nanotechnology platform that could pave way for new treatments for degenerative bone diseases. In their study, the scientists developed a technology that involves the use of iron nanowires. These nanowires bend in response to magnetic fields. Scientists grew bone-forming stem cells on the mesh of...
