Cloud-inspired way to guide light: Waveguiding mechanisms could offer new ways to see inside the human body
Photon density modes in curved waveguides. Credit: Nature Physics (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41567-024-02665-z Inspired by the way sunlight passes through clouds, scientists have discovered an entirely new way to control and direct light. This groundbreaking research, led by physicists at the University of Glasgow, allows light waves to be guided along curved paths tunneled through opaque materials that would normally scatter…

Use synthetic chemistry to plan the route of drugs into the body
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) have developed a technique that allows the body to change the recognized identity of proteins. The innovation, published October 2 in Nature Communications, allows researchers to target tumors in mice with a protein and transport the protein out of the body. This means that cancer-killing drugs can…
