Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have demonstrated that it is possible to see greater details of DNA origami nanostructures. DNA origami is the folding of long "scaffold" strands of circular DNA molecules held together using short "staple" strands to create various two- and three-dimensional shapes at the nanometer scale.

Plant-derived compounds called phytosterol have been found to lower LDL cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol that contributes to plaque buildup in arteries. Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have found that nanoparticles embedded in granola bars and pudding boosted the absorption of phytosterol in the body.

Researchers at Rice University have developed a catalytic reactor that uses carbon dioxide as its feedstock and produces highly purified and high concentrations of formic acid. Tests showed that nearly half of the electrical energy could be stored in formic acid as liquid fuel.

A team of scientists has discovered a new possible pathway toward forming carbon structures in space using a specialized chemical exploration technique at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This study is part of an ongoing effort to retrace the chemical steps leading to the formation of complex carbon-containing molecules in deep space.

A collaborative project from a nanoparticles expert at The University of Texas at Arlington has yielded promising results in the search for more effective, targeted cancer treatments. The team investigated the use of X-rays and copper-cysteamine nanoparticles to treat deep-seated tumors, resulting in statistically significant reduction in tumor size.
