Mechanotargeting Of Cancer Cells
Diseased cells such as metastatic cancer cells have markedly different mechanical properties that can be used to improve targeted drug uptake, according to a team of researchers at Penn State.
Camouflaged Nanoparticles Used To Deliver Killer Protein To Cancer
A team of Penn State researchers has developed a biomimetic nanosystem to deliver therapeutic proteins to selectively target cancerous tumors.
Sintering Atomically Thin Materials With Ceramics Now Possible
For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics with a two-dimensional material that opens the door to new designs of nanocomposites with a variety of applications.
Self-Heating, Fast-Charging Battery Makes Electric Vehicles Climate-Immune
Conventional lithium-ion batteries cannot be rapidly charged at temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but now a team of Penn State engineers has created a battery that can self-heat, allowing rapid charging regardless of the outside chill.
