Bioengineers have developed a new technology based on nature's design principles for self assembly and self organization. The technology can be used to regenerate heart and other tissues and to make ...

Cornell University researchers are developing a napkin that will be able to detect bacteria, viruses and other dangerous substances with a mere swipe. The napkins, made with special nanofabrics, could ...

In Nature, cells and tissues assemble and organize themselves within a matrix of protein fibers that ultimately determines their structure and function, such as the elasticity of skin and the ...

The new shirt is an example of a growing area of clothes created from nanotechnology. The resultant nanofabrics are either constructed from nanoscopic fibers called nanofibers, or they are formed by ...
