A recent article in the Journal of Applied Polymer Science describes the development of a new double-layered fiber dressing for wounds. The researchers used electrospinning to create the dressing, ...

Su filindeu, originating from the Sardinian town of Nuoro and meaning “threads of God,” is the world’s thinnest known pasta, with single strands measuring a mere 0.016 inches wide (400 microns).

No, you can't eat the world's thinnest spaghetti. It's 200 times thinner than a human hair, which means you'd have a hard time spotting it on a plate and an even harder time cooking it. So why make it ...

Precise medicine, aimed at tailoring healthcare to individual patients by considering their genetic, environmental, and lifestyle differences, has long sought more effective ways to integrate advanced ...

Combining these two twins-tech, electrospinning and electrospraying, to fabricate novel nanomaterials is an urgent area of research for materials scientists and biomedical engineers, according to a ...

Researchers have used 3D nanotechnology to successfully grow human retinal cells, opening the door to a new way of treating age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in the ...

Nanofibers have gained significant attention for different applications, such as barrier fabrics and high-efficiency filters. In biomedical applications, nanofibers have been used as drug delivery ...

Congratulations to Yunzhi for receiving a Trustee Award of the ECD Best Poster Awards by the Engineering Ceramics Division (ECD) of The American Ceramic Society. The award consists of an award ...

The electrospinning technique creates fibers ranging in size from 100 nm to a few microns. This one-of-a-kind process has the advantages of simple production machinery, low spinning costs, a diverse ...

The most widely used and researched method of fabricating nanofibers is electrospinning (ES), due to its high efficiency, adaptability and cost-effectiveness. Nanofibers are fibrous structures with ...
