 Complete fly brain imaged at nanoscale resolution
- The fruit fly brain contains roughly 100,000 neurons, which can now be traced in detail using a dataset that includes roughly 21 million images. Janelia scientists traced the paths of neurons (colored threads) that reach out to the mushroom body, a region ...

 Solar-powered nanoscale coating could defrost frozen car windows
- We love cars here at Digital Trends, but we don’t love everything about them. Something that’s right at the top of every car owner’s list of things they despise about car ownership? Defrosting a vehicle’s windows on cold winter mornings ...

 New nanotechnology research could lead to massive improvements in EV battery capacity
- Why it matters: One of the most significant problems today's electric vehicles face is limited range. Tesla's cars can often travel upwards of 250 miles on a single charge, but compared to the range of many gas-powered cars, EVs are still at a disadvantage.
