Molecular recognition and molecular encapsulation are nanoscale processes that offer great potential for applications as diverse as sensors, environmental remediation and targeted drug delivery.

Molecularly imprinted polymers are a class of material, designed to have a high affinity for a specific molecule. Molecular imprinting leaves cavities in the ordinary structure of the polymer – ...

UK scientists awarded £1m to develop smart gel using plasma tech, offering new hope for brain cancer, skin disease and fungal ...

NanoMIPs, often called “plastic antibodies”, are made using a proprietary self-assembly process where the template molecule is incubated with monomers, each of which is free in solution to adopt its ...

University of Sheffield researchers are pioneering 'smart' drug delivery systems, combining Cold Atmospheric Plasma with ...

Although there are now a number of skin-worn sensors which identify metabolites in sweat, the technology is limited in what it can detect, plus the sensors often aren't reusable. A new one, however, ...

We live in times when technology has become a regular part of our lives. Besides many portable devices, smartphones or wrist-worn fitness trackers are equipped with sensors to measure health ...

The animal brain consists of tens of billions of neurons or nerve cells that perform complex tasks like processing emotions, learning, and making judgments by communicating with each other via ...

Polymer nanoparticles could provide a new way to fight underarm odor without disturbing the balance of skin bacteria or causing irritation (ACS Appl. Bio. Mater. 2019, DOI: 10.1021/acsabm.9b00388).

After the last in-person meetings 2018 in Jerusalem and 2024 in Verona, the MIP conference series returns to another city of history and arts: the 13th International Conference on Molecular Imprinting ...
