Read moreOne factor that makes glioblastoma cancers so difficult to treat is that malignant cells from the tumors spread throughout the brain by following nerve fibers and blood vessels to invade new locations. Now, researchers have learned to hijack this migratory mechanism, turning it against the cancer by using a film of nanofibers thinner than human hair to lure tumor cells away.

Read moreFullerene bisadducts are promising electron-accepting materials because of the increased open-circuit voltage of BHJSCs based on these compounds compared with those based on PCBM. That led researchers to synthetize C60 bisadducts connected with the strong absorber perylenediimide (PDI) in a cyclic fashion.
