Self-Assembling Amyloid Fibers from Smaller Proteins for Nanotechnology Applications

A research team from UC Davis and Rice University has discovered a technique that would enable natural proteins to self-assemble into amyloid fibrils. Nature has several instances of self-assembly, and researchers have always been interested in replicating or manipulating these proteins to develop novel and practical materials or devices. The team’s research findings have been published online by the journal ACS Nano.

New Study Reveals Magnetic Nature of Graphene and its Electronic Applications

A research team from the University of California, Riverside has developed a new technique of inducing magnetism in graphene without disrupting graphene’s electronic properties. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, and has many amazing properties. The magnetic properties of graphene have remained controversial due to the lack of strong experimental evidence. In general, upon doping graphene with magnetic impurities, magnetism can be induced in graphene. However, the doping may tend to affect the electronic properties of the material.
