Crowd research recovers biodiversity as 17 previously lost plant species are rehabilitated
March 9, 2021
Imagine rediscovering not one, but seventeen species that had been designated as extinct? A well organised network of researchers across research institutions, universities, museums, botanic gardens and biobanks has demonstrated...
A novel light harvesting engine strings buckyballs and chromophores on DNA
February 26, 2021
Researchers have synthesised a novel type of organic light-harvesting supramolecule by arranging fluorescent dyes and bucky balls in three-dimensions using a DNA scaffold. The resulting helical string of electron donors...

Kinky graphene ‘straintronics’ for smaller, faster microchips
February 16, 2021
Using 'straintronics' rather than electronics, researchers have produced the tiniest microchips yet by applying what is effectively nano-origami to graphene to create structural functionality. These nanomaterial developments allows more microchips...
Closed-loop chemical recycling of common petrochemical realised
January 28, 2021
Imagine plastics and rubber that can be chemically unzipped back to reusable monomers for recycling. In the way of all the most exciting advances, this process of depolymerisation - a...
Roll over Indiana Jones – the modern archeologist comes armed with technology
January 21, 2021
Looking into the past never looked so futuristic as it does today, and the Indiana Jones-style stereotype - with his muck-ridden, dirt digging, tomb raiding archeology - must make way...
Long-life, long-range, rapid recharging, affordable electric car battery
January 21, 2021
Go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds and drive like a Porsche... Electric car batteries that can take you 250 miles, take only ten minutes to...
