Lipid nanoparticles are an important part of Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. They play a key role in protecting and transporting the mRNA effectively to the right place in cells. Compared to liposomes, an effective drug delivery system discovered in the 1960s, lipid nanoparticles have a more complex structure and help to solve some of the disadvantages of liposomes.

Scientists from Heriot-Watt University's Research Institute for Flexible Materials are trying to create new clean energy by harvesting kinetic energy, which is energy from moving objects, from our clothing! They will use high-tech nanogenerators, which capture and reuse the energy from our clothes as we move. If it works, these tiny devices could be woven into our everyday clothing.

How cool! Scientists from Rice University have enhanced a process to convert waste from rubber tires into graphene that can be used to make stronger concrete. They do this by flashing the carbon from the tires with a jolt of electricity. This process helps reduce the CO2 emissions from the production of concrete.

Check this out! Scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have created a molecule that responds to light. This molecule can be used in quantum computers. Like the "bits" that regular computers use (1s & 0s), quantum computers use what are called "qubits." These qubits can be both 1 and 0 at the same time, which increases their computing power exponentially. However, this "superposition" is fragile and can be easily disrupted by the environment. Thankfully, the molecule these scientists have created is able to protect that superposition.
