Biophilic building for human resilience and pandemic prevention

February 15, 2021
Derived in 1964 by the social psychologist Erich Fromm, 'biophilia' means to love life. Here, architect Robert Hopkins, explains how the application of biophilic design and sensor-led monitoring systems can...

Robotic exoskeleton training expands options for stroke rehabilitation

February 2, 2021
It must be hard enough to recover from an acute stroke, but many find the physical taxation of rehabilitation exercises incredibly challenging. Retraining the brain to drive the complex processes...

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...

Laser-triggered chemical adhesion for tissue engineering of replacement organs

January 19, 2021
Laser-triggered chemical adhesion used to build proteins onto biological polymer scaffolding to bring artificial but functional, laboratory-grown replacement organs one step closer to a reality. Researchers have found lasers and...

RNA molecules are masters of their own destiny

December 22, 2020
How does the cell know when to stop transcribing? What is the purpose of noncoding RNAs? Another win for multi-disciplinary research as results from the Whitehead Institute suggest that the...

Science priorities agreed for 2024 lunar exploration

December 9, 2020
Planetary processes and polar resource potential prioritised by lunar science team. Researchers predict that collaboration and complimentary skills across the Artemis III team will support the most compelling science possible...

Predicting trends in clinical motion tracking technologies

November 18, 2020
Read an expert vision of the future where clinicians have been wooed by motion tracking wearables to collect inertial data, into further investment in more complex artificial intelligence (AI) and...

An artificial cell on a chip

October 28, 2020
Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a precisely controllable system for mimicking biochemical reaction cascades in cells. Using microfluidic technology, they produce miniature polymeric reaction containers equipped with...
