Researchers have investigated a set of spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) for their potential to stimulate cancer-quelling immune responses. After comparing compositionally identical yet structurally different vaccines, the researchers found the structure of SNAs in one vaccine dramatically outperformed the others. Vaccines with the superior structure eliminated tumors in 30% of animals and improved their overall survival from cancer.

A team of plastic surgeons and material scientists has invented a synthetic soft tissue substitute that is well tolerated and encourages the growth of soft tissue and blood vessels. This new material retains its shape without being too dense, overcoming challenges with current tissue fillers that tend to be either too soft or not porous enough to let cells move in and start regrowing tissue.

Controlling the properties of ultrafast light pulses is essential for sending information through high-speed optical circuits and in probing atoms and molecules. But the standard method of pulse shaping is costly, bulky and lacks the fine control scientists increasingly need. Now researchers have developed a novel and compact method of sculpting light with nanoscale precision.

Most implantable and wearable medical devices benefit from having on-board batteries powering them, but because conventional batteries have specific internal geometries, they are not flexible. Now researchers have developed stretchable supercapacitors – devices that can hold onto electrical charge and release it as necessary – that can be pulled to eight times their original size and continue working.
