Scientists Improve Computer Modeling for Designing Drug-Delivery Nanocarriers


"These design criteria," Radhakrishnan said, "can be utilized in custom designing nanocarriers for a given patient or patient-cohort, hence showing an important way forward for custom nanocarrier design in the era of personalized medicine."

Buckyball buffer helps conduct electricity in only one direction


Scientists restructured the diode by separating the electron pipe region, made of a single layer of pentacene, from the metallic electrodes.

The scientists identified the molecular Schottky mechanism that lets the diode conduct electricity in one direction and not the other. This mechanism may prove to be a general feature of such molecular systems, and the ability to engineer it through the addition of a thin layer may have implications for mass-producing molecular-based electronics and innovations in solar cells and certain organic photovoltaics.
