(Nanowerk News) A mollusk with teeth that can grind down rock may hold the key to making next generation abrasion-resistant materials and nanoscale materials for energy (Scientific Reports, ...

A team of scientists have made a new discovery about naturally occurring magnetic materials, which in turn could lead to the development of nanoscale energy sources used to power next generation ...

Researchers identify a new protein—radular teeth matrix protein 1 that regulates the deposition of iron oxide in chiton teeth—an iron-based biomineral with strong magnetic properties. “Mineralization” ...

Scientists are looking at the naturally-occurring magnetite in the teeth of a type of mollusks to power the next generation of electronics. A team of the Okayama University in Japan and UC Riverside's ...

1. A new approach to anchor teeth back in the jaw using stem cells has been developed and successfully tested in the laboratory for the first time by researchers at the University of Illinois at ...

Dental root voids are commonly obturated with polymer materials that harden after injection. Research is exploring the use of hydrogels seeded with pluripotent stem cells to regenerate the natural ...

A mollusk with teeth that can grind down rock may hold the key to making next generation abrasion-resistant materials and nanoscale materials for energy. The mollusk, called a gumboot chiton, scrapes ...

Researchers have discovered a piece of the genetic puzzle that allows a mollusk to produce magnetite nanomaterials. A mollusk with teeth that can grind down rock may hold the key to making next ...
