Inhibition of HER2 on tumor cells by molecularly imprinted nanoparticles. A particularly aggressive, metastasizing form of cancer, HER2-positive breast cancer, may be treated with nanoscopic particles “imprinted” with specific binding sites for the receptor molecule HER2. As reported by Chinese researchers in the journal Angewandte Chemie, the selective binding of the nanoparticles to HER2 significantly inhibits multiplication of the tumor cells.

Portable polarization-sensitive camera could be used in machine vision, autonomous vehicles, security, atmospheric chemistry and more. Researchers have developed a highly compact, portable camera that can image polarization in a single shot. The miniature camera – about the size of a thumb – could find a place in the vision systems of autonomous vehicles, onboard planes or satellites to study atmospheric chemistry, or be used to detect camouflaged objects.
