- Looking to insects to stabilize the surfaces of materials
Several insects use a trick to dive into water without getting wet: tiny structures on their surface trap a thin film of air that protects the animals. Together with an international team of resear...
- Magnetic trapping of rare-earth ions may lead to a handy technology for their separation
Some raw materials are considered critical by the European Commission. These include many representatives from the rare-earth elements group, for which supply bottlenecks are imminent and no simple... - Breaking the black box of catalytic reactions
Many of the catalytic reactions that drive our modern world happen in an atomic black box. Scientists know all the components that go into a reaction, but not how they interact at an atomic level. ...
- A test that detects COVID-19 variants in your spit
With the Delta variant wreaking havoc on unvaccinated populations and COVID-19 cases spiking around the world, the pandemic is far from over. Despite the impressively fast development of SARS-C... - New face mask prototype can detect Covid-19 infection
Engineers at MIT and Harvard University have designed a novel face mask that can diagnose the wearer with Covid-19 within about 90 minutes. The masks are embedded with tiny, disposable sensors that...
- Discovering where tetracyclines go in human cells
We know that antibiotics treat bacterial infections. We also know why they work. Tetracycline antibiotics, for example, stop bacteria from making protein. Like a boot on a wheel, the drugs bind to ... - Converting CO2 into usable energy
magine if carbon dioxide could easily be converted into usable energy. Every time you breathe or drive a motor vehicle, you would produce a key ingredient for generating fuels. Like photosynthesis ... - 3D printing of living cells
Using a new technique they call 'in-air microfluidics', University of Twente scientists succeed in printing 3D structures with living cells. This special technique enable the fast and 'on-the-fly' ...
- Medical-grade bio-glue inspired by slugs sticks to biological surfaces without toxicity
Anyone who has ever tried to put on a Band-Aid® when their skin is damp knows that it can be frustrating. Wet skin isn't the only challenge for medical adhesives - the human body is full of blood, ... - How CRISPR proteins find their target
UC Berkeley researchers have discovered how Cas1-Cas2, the proteins responsible for the ability of the CRISPR immune system in bacteria to adapt to new viral infections, identify the site in the ge...
- Human blood-brain barrier-on-a-chip device offers new ways of studying in vitro
The blood-brain barrier at the interface between the brain's blood vessels and nerve cells acts as a vital gatekeeper to the brain, allowing essential nutrients and fluids to pass into the central ... - Label-free detection of viruses
In cooperation with Heraeus Quartz Glass, Harvard University in the USA and Leiden University in the Netherlands, scientists at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technologies (IPHT) have succeeded ...
- Relativity theory also applicable in other research areas
Einstein's theory of time and space will celebrate its 100th anniversary this year. Even today it captures the imagination of scientists. In an international collaboration, researchers from the Uni... - Measurement of a single nuclear spin in biological samples at room temperature
Physicists of the University of Basel and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute were able to show for the first time that the nuclear spins of single molecules can be detected with the help of magnetic p...
- Harvard's Wyss Institute and Sony DADC Announce Collaboration on Organs-on-Chips
Today the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University and Sony DADC announced a collaboration that will harness Sony DADC's global manufacturing expertise to further ...
- Millipore Corporation's Re-Branding Underscores Expanded Capabilities and Partnership with Customers
Millipore Corporation, a Life Science leader providing technologies, tools and services for the bioscience research and biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry, today unveiled its new brand initia...
