  • Professor Paul Braun led a team that developed a new templating system to help control the quality and unique properties of a special class of inorganic composite materials.
    Paul Braun, and team, gain control over internal structure of self-assembled composite materials
    2020-01-22 - Composites made from self-assembling inorganic materials are valued for their unique strength and thermal, optical and magnetic properties. However, because self-assembly can be difficult to control, the structures formed can be highly disordered, leading to defects during large-scale production. Researchers at the University of Illinois and the University of Michigan have developed a templating...

  • Five pointed star of DNA
    Research associate professor Xing Wang, corresponding author of study into Dengue Virus
    2019-11-27 - By folding snippets of DNA into the shape of a five-pointed star using structural DNA nanotechnology, researchers have created a trap that captures Dengue virus as it floats in the bloodstream. Once sprung, the trap – which is non-toxic and is naturally cleared from the body – lights up. It’s the most sensitive test for the mosquito-borne diseases yet devised.
