Producing large, clean 2D materials made easy: just KISS
Ever since the discovery of the two-dimensional form of graphite (called graphene) almost twenty years ago, interest in 2D materials with their special physical properties has skyrocketed.
How Fiber-Optic Sensing and New Materials Could Reduce the Cost of Floating Offshore Wind
In this Q&A, Berkeley Lab’s Yuxin Wu discusses how scientists are developing sensing technologies that could be installed on floating offshore structures. This would allow the structures to self-monitor damaging conditions that could lead to costly repairs, and could also gauge impacts to marine mammals.
National Comprehensive Cancer Network Joins Collaboration to Improve Standards in Cancer Care for Vietnam
United States-based NCCN representatives visit Hanoi, Vietnam to work with local experts to improve quality-of-life for patients with cancer throughout the country.

Debriefing After Critical Events Combines Review, Reflection
The PICU bereavement/wellness committee at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago developed a tailored debriefing process to allow time for reflection and communication after critical patient events. The process was designed as a hot debriefing to be completed during the current shift, with all staff members who were involved in the event invited to participate.
Antibiotics crisis: nanoparticles as therapy guide
In the case of blood poisoning, the bacteria in the blood must be identified as fast as possible so that a life-saving therapy can be started. Empa researchers have now developed “sepsis sensors” with magnetic nanoparticles that detect bacterial pathogens within a short period of time and identify suitable candidates for antibiotic therapies.
