As a result, for regular surfaces the energy required for nanofluidic applications is enormous because of the tremendous hydraulic resistance inside nanoscale conduits (the hydraulic resistance is reversely proportional to the fourth power of the conduit ...
Enzymes are nature’s best nanoscale catalysts, and often show what’s known as catalytic allostery – that is, reactions at one site affecting reactions at another site, typically a few nanometers away, without direct interaction between the reactants.

For years, scientists have been inspired by nature to innovate solutions to tricky problems, even oil spills -- manmade disasters with devastating environmental and economic consequences. A new study takes a cue from leaf structure to fabricate material ...
A new technique for producing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices promises to improve their precision and reliability for and lower their cost. Its developers at A* STAR, Singapore’s Agency for Science Technology and Research, say that it ...
