Scalable nanotechnology-based lightsails developed for next-generation space exploration

Lightsails That Can Travel 20% of The Speed of Light Move Closer to Reality

A breakthrough method for fabricating nanotechnology-based lightsails that use laser-powered radiation to reach as much as 20% of the speed of light, developed by researchers from the Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology and Brown University, could theoretically reduce manufacturing from years to hours. The researchers behind the technological leap believe their method is also scalable enough to function as a critical leap toward designin…

Scalable nanotechnology-based lightsails developed for next-generation space exploration

Researchers at TU Delft and Brown University have developed scalable nanotechnology-based lightsails that could support future advances in space exploration and experimental physics. Their research, published in Nature Communications, introduces new materials and production methods to create the thinnest large-scale reflectors ever made.

Nanotechnology innovation aims to improve breast cancer treatment

University of Queensland researchers are designing nanotechnology they believe could improve how we treat the most aggressive form of breast cancer.

AI 'not safe' to be implemented as a solo reader for breast cancer screening exams

Despite the great progress that has been made toward the clinical implementation of AI, new data caution against trusting the technology as a single reader in certain settings.

Researchers from Tu Delft and Brown University have developed light cars based on scalable nanotechnology that could support future advances in space exploration and experimental physics. Their research, published in Nature Communications, introduces new materials and production methods to create large-scale reflectors [...]

Researcher at the PUCV Chemistry Institute leads a project to generate molecules that are able to detect and attack cancer cells, as well as to discriminate against healthy ones, enhancing their effectiveness and minimizing side effects of therapy. Projections estimate that by 2040 there will be 30 million cancer cases and about 16 million people will die for this cause in the world. In the case of Chile, the last records of 2020 indicate that a…
