• X-ray beam explores food color protein
  In food products, the natural blues tend to be moody. A fun food colorant with a scientific name - phycocyanin - provides a vivid blue pigment that food companies crave, but it can be unstable when...

• Understanding the texture of food with microscopy and mechanics
  Many delicacies are based on animal products. Artisan products - i.e. those with natural and identical ingredients - often have a different mouthfeel. This is among others also a big challenge in t...

• Corals remove microplastics from ocean waters
  Increasing numbers of tiny particles of plastic, known as microplastics, can be found in the world's oceans. Where these waste particles from car tires, diapers, decaying plastic bags and other eve...

• "Molecular sea of flags": nanostructures self-assemble and cover specific surfaces
  Researchers at the University of Bonn have developed a molecular structure that can cover graphite surfaces with a sea of tiny flagged "flagpoles". The properties of this coating are highly variabl...

• Ozone causes our skin to emit tiny airborne particles
  Air pollution is responsible for seven million of premature deaths around the world every year, according to the World Health Organization. That's roughly the same number of people who die from smo...

Technical Papers for Analytical Laboratories

• Conference Review: 17^th Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium
  This year's Confocal Raman Imaging Symposium, held online, achieved a new level of engagement with a record number of participants from around the world. Over 500 registrants signed up to view and discuss a field of 55 posters grouped under the topics: Advanced Materials Analysis; Environmental a...

• How developments in the automotive industry can predict the future of chromatography applications
  Early iterations of chromatography systems required their operators - typically a highly trained scientist in a high-tech research facility - to manually prepare each sample for the next experiment. While an analytical procedure or process can be as short as minutes or even seconds, typical sampl...

• Optimization of the stabilization process of aqueous TiO₂-pigment dispersions for dip coating applications by means of electrokinetic sonic amplitude
  The high-quality white pigment titanium dioxide has many applications. Coagulation or agglomeration of a TiO₂ dispersion must be avoided at all costs, both in the manufacturing process and in the processing, e.g. by manufacturers of paints and coatings. This applies in particular to highly filled...
