Iron nanorobots go undercover to do surveillance on living cells in real time
Cruise34Days Ago (12-16)
Labeled cells could be tracked either in cell cultures or once injected into a living animal. Living cells inside the body could be placed under surveillance—their location and migration noninvasively tracked in real time over many days—...
Carbon nanotube film produces aerospace-grade composites with no need for huge ovens or autoclaves
