Scientists develop new model of electric double layer
Credit: CC0 Public Domain The new model takes into account a wide range of ion-electrode interactions and predicts the charge storage capacity of the device. The model’s theoretical predictions are consistent with the experimental results. Data on electric double layer (EDL) behavior can help develop more efficient supercapacitors for portable electronics and electric vehicles. The study was published in ChemPhysChem.…

Researchers develop new covalent organic framework for precise targeting of cancer treatment
Credit: ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acsami.4c10812 A team of researchers at New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), led by Chemistry Program Director Ali Trabolsi, has developed nanoscale covalent organic frameworks (nCOFs), crystalline organic polymers modified with peptides, to treat the most aggressive form of breast cancer called triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The peptides enable the COF to…

Researchers develop new method to deliver RNA and drugs to cells
An ionizable fulvestrant analog was formulated into nanoparticles with cholesterol, DSPC, and DMG-PEG (molar ratio 50:38.5:10:1.5) to encapsulate siRNA (FXNP). Credit: Advanced Materials (2024). DOI: 10.1002/adma.202403701 Researchers at the University of Toronto and its affiliated hospitals have developed a way to deliver therapeutic RNA and powerful drugs directly into cells, which could lead to more effective disease treatments. The study,…

Theoretical physicists develop method to model the central theory of quantum gravity in the lab
Illustration of the theory used to model quantum gravity: The lattice simulates a curved space-time. Near the boundary, the lattice becomes denser due to the curvature. Interacting electrical signals in the bulk (yellow, red, and blue lines) simulate the gravitational dynamics. The dynamics in the bulk and at the outer boundary correspond to each other. They are consistent with the…
