New candidate for raw material synthesis through gene transfer

July 13, 2020
Cyanobacteria hardly need any nutrients and use the energy of sunlight. Bathers are familiar with these microorganisms - often incorrectly called "blue-green algae" - as they often occur in waters....

Algae as living biocatalysts for a green industry

July 13, 2020
Better still: living algae can be used as biocatalysts for certain substances, and they bring the co-substrate along, producing it in an environmentally friendly manner through photosynthesis.

Kirke teleports from Westeros

July 10, 2020
Teleportation is most commonly the stuff of science fiction and, for many, would conjure up the immortal phrase; “Beam me up Scotty". However, a new study has described how its...

Instant diagnostic photonics scan for bladder cancer (BLC)

July 2, 2020
Thousands of lives lost to bladder cancers each year could be saved thanks to a new scanner that uses photonics to illuminate parts of the tissue that are currently impossible...

Is teleportation possible? Yes, in the quantum world

June 23, 2020
Last year scientists confirmed that information could be passed between photons on computer chips even when the photons were not physically linked. Now, according to new research from the University...

Reactive 3D printing for autonomous shapeshifting materials

June 12, 2020
Soft robots and biomedical implants that reconfigure themselves upon demand are closer to reality with a new way to print shapeshifting materials. Rafael Verduzco and graduate student Morgan Barnes of...

Machine learning predicts nanoparticle structure and dynamics

Researchers at the Nanoscience Center and at the Faculty of Information Technology at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland have demonstrated that new distance-based machine learning methods, developed in the...

Viable sodium-ion battery for sustainable energy storage

June 3, 2020
Washington State University (WSU) and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) researchers have created a sodium-ion battery that holds as much energy and works as well as some commercial lithium-ion battery...

ESPRESSO confirms Earth-sized planet around the nearest star

June 2, 2020
The existence of a planet the size of Earth around the closest star in the solar system, Proxima Centauri, has been confirmed by an international team of scientists including researchers...

Tracking the physics of biological cells using nanodevices (video)

May 27, 2020
For the first time, scientists have introduced minuscule tracking devices directly into the interior of mammalian cells, giving an unprecedented peek into the processes that govern the beginning of development....
