Researchers have developed a technique for producing platinum hollow nanocages with ultra-thin walls that could dramatically reduce the amount of the costly metal needed to provide catalytic activity in such applications as fuel cells. The image shows models of the (left) cubic and (octahedral) nanocages, whose surfaces are covered by atoms in square and hexagonal arrays, respectively. The yellow spheres correspond to platinum atoms while the green spheres indicate a small fraction of palladium atoms remain

Researchers have developed a technique for activating biological signals through the skin of a living animal using light. In this illustration, ultraviolet light is shining through a pattern, initiating fluorescence in the biomaterial implanted in a biomaterial located under the skin of a living animal.

Pictured are MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, stably transformed with SNAIL (right) or an empty vector control (left). Cells expressing SNAIL show an increased mesenchymal phenotype and malignant characteristics. The control cells display a cobblestone morphology, whereas cells overexpressing SNAIL are more elongated. Credit: MgGrail, et al., FASEB 2014.
