Advances in nanotechnology have made it possible to fabricate structures out of DNA for use in biomedical applications like delivering drugs or creating vaccines. Still, new research in mice investigates the safety of the technology. Using a technique called DNA Origami (DO) – a process that involves folding complementary strands of DNA into double helixes over and over again...

New composite material has potential for medical use
University of Georgia researchers have developed a new material with properties ideal for medical products such as masks and bandages. It’s also better for the environment than the materials in current use. Using nonwoven fabrics—fabrics produced by bonding fiber without weaving or knitting—the team led by Gajanan Bhat was able to make composite materials that are stretchable, breathable,...
