Researchers at the AMBER Centre in Dublin have unveiled a new biomaterial capable of regenerating diseased heart tissue for the benefit of cardiac patients. One of the biggest challenges to the recovery of someone who has experienced a major physical trauma such as a heart attack is the growth of scar tissue.
Mobile World Congress is the world’s biggest exhibition focused on high-tech and mobile applications. With over 107 000 attendees from across the technology ecosystem and including a significant proportion of senior-level industry representatives, the 2018 Mobile World Congress was the ideal place for the Graphene Flagship to demonstrate progress in graphene.
Colloidal plasmonic metal nanoparticles are capable of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for various analytical fields. Despite steady efforts to establish hot spots and obtain optimal SERS signals, it remains a challenge to ensure the accessibility and high density for enhancing Raman activity.
