Scientists Develop a Graphene Matrix for Stem and Cancer Cells Growing
… which imitates natural extracellular environment necessary for cells development. The scaffolds are produced by sputtering a thin graphene layer onto aluminum nanofibers. The scientists showed that it is possible to simulate the behavior of various types of cells, including stem and cancer ones. Thus, the new 3D matrix can be useful in a wide variety of applications…

What a Twist: Silicon Nanoantennas Turned Light Around
…an be dynamically modified. When we illuminated it with a weak laser impulse, we get one result, but with a strong impulse, we achieve a completely different behavior." The scientists performed a numerical modelling of the light scattering mechanism, Fig. 2B. The simulation revealed that when the nanoantenna is illuminated with a weak laser beam, the light scatter…
