Robotic system outSTRIPs all previous COVID testing systems

February 9, 2021
A live laboratory setup in the Netherlands demonstrates that five robots could accurately process and track 100,000 SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests a day, relieving the burden on overloaded laboratory personnel and...

Cell shape influences antibiotic resistance

February 3, 2021
A broad, curvy shape has a lower surface-to-volume ratio and is less susceptible to surface invasion. So, being wide and curvatious helps bacteria survive antibiotics, continue to grow, and adapt...

Meet the baby tyrannosaurs – dog-sized and looking just like mum and dad

January 29, 2021
Imagine mini tyrannosaurs running around your legs like collie dogs! They may have grown to 40 feet as adults, but baby tyrannosaurs looked like their parents when they first hatched...

Why cells don’t get stuck – generalised cell migration and motility modelled mathematically

January 22, 2021
Cell movement has now been mathematically modelled by an interdisciplinary team of theoretical and experimental physicists. Understanding this fundamental process will allow scientists to predict cell behaviours and improve targeted...

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...

Modelling system evolution dynamics for better ecosystem management

January 20, 2021
Imagine being able to stop species becoming unexpectedly endangered in the first place... Researchers have demonstrated that ecosystem management can be modelled to highlight potential adjustments to ongoing control strategies...

Successful AI and ML framework for repurposing drug candidates

January 8, 2021
Researchers apply causal inference theory and deep learning algorithms to sort through confounding data and successfully pinpoint drug candidates for treatment repurposing. The new framework enables artificial intelligence and machine...

Nanoparticle drug-delivery system developed to treat brain disorders

January 6, 2021
A team of bioengineers has proven a novel system of nanoparticles can successfully carry three times more targeted drug across the previously difficult-to-breach healthy blood brain barrier. This shows promise...

Vital biodiversity collections face drop in specimen deposits

January 1, 2021
Kansas researchers argue that expanded biodiversity infrastructure will be an essential front line of defense in pandemic preparedness in the wake of COVID-19 as preserved specimens capture the community of...

Successful consortium project releases AI platform for drug discovery

December 7, 2020
Once again demonstrating that the power of collaboration presents the best foundation for real progress in the development and adoption of future forward technologies, key players in the drug discovery...
