The invention uses ultrasound-responsive nanobubbles to deliver treatment to targeted areas of a person’s body, avoiding side effects associated with traditional osteoporosis treatments, such as osteonecrosis (delayed healing of the jawbone) and gastrointestinal problems.

The work can lead to new catalysts and other compounds that could be applicable in a range of areas including quantum science, renewable energy, life sciences and sustainability.

Researchers say the device can tell with 95% percent accuracy if someone has a virus, a significant improvement over current rapid tests.

The material offers the high performance and stability needed for industrial-scale electrolysis, which could produce a clean energy fuel from seawater.

The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of zoonotic threats, which may include COVID-19, in order to better respond to them.

Current lithium-ion batteries contain solvents that are flammable and toxic.

Some of Assistant Professor Yang Yang’s latest work is focused on keeping a key, internal metal structure — the anode — from falling apart over time.

The work has implications in creating nighttime camouflage and methods for anticounterfeiting, tagging and energy management.

Adulterated food results in people paying more for their food than it’s worth, as sometimes foods are bulked up with less expensive filler products.
