Throw away the detergent and forgo the elbow grease: pesky proteins can now be removed from surfaces by simply exposing them to light, thanks to a reusable titania template developed by A*STAR researchers ("Fabrication of Self-Cleaning, Reusable Titania Templates for Nanometer and Micrometer Scale Protein...

Quantum dots light the way
Polymer nanoparticles that release medicine at controlled rates inside cells have the potential to enhance the efficacy of many clinical drugs. A*STAR researchers have now developed an eye-catching way to evaluate the performance of different polymer drug-delivery formulations using luminescent quantum dots as imaging labels ("Evaluation of Polymeric...
Optical materials - Two crystals are better than one
A method for designing materials capable of slowing the propagation of light over a broad range of wavelengths has been developed by researchers at the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing ("Broadband slow light in one-dimensional logically combined photonic crystals"). Combining photonic crystals can slow the propagation of light for applications...
