Developing multi-functional catalysts with light switches

January 25, 2021
Researchers were able to observe the atomic-scale features of a catalyst using an environmental transmission electron microscope, enabling them to manipulate and optimise catalytic reactions using light. This technique could...

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...

Uncovering the magic of metallographic Turing pattern formation

January 19, 2021
While we have become used to seeing stripes and spots in nature, it still seems amazing to see similarily distinct 'Turing patterns' form on non-biological surfaces. Now, an international research...

How to grow your own smart materials with live fermentation cultures

January 12, 2021
Have you ever made your own soda bread or homemade yoghurt using a fermented 'starter culture'? Imagine being able to cultivate your grow your own smart biomaterials at home using...

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...

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...
