Heterostructured Film For Atmospheric Water Recovery

A nanoparticle-polymer film enables isothermal droplet formation and water recovery from humid air through capillary condensation on a porous surface. Problem: Conventional condensation of undersaturated water vapor can require energy-intensive cooling. Porous materials can condense water without cooling but often retain it inside voids. That makes...

Angubindin-1 Peptide for Transient Blood-Brain Barrier Opening to Boost Chemotherapy in Malignant Glioma

This technology includes a first-in-class synthetic peptide, angubindin-1, designed to temporarily relax the blood-brain barrier (BBB)—the tightly sealed network of brain blood vessel cells that normally blocks most drugs—from the inside. By binding the tricellular tight-junction protein angulin-1/LSR, the peptide creates a reversible “molecular...
