Replacing unsustainable materials in nanostructure surfaces

February 7, 2022
New research results from Linnaeus University opens for a future with more sustainably produced nanotechnology, where limited natural resources can be replaced with, among other things, maize and milk proteins.

Shape-shifting worm blob model could inspire future robot swarms

October 26, 2021
Lumbriculus variegatus blackworms can aggregate into ‘blobs’ capable of collective movement. Researchers observed blackworms to model the behaviour of individual worms, as well as the formation and movement of blobs....

Decades of research brings quantum dots to brink of widespread use

August 18, 2021
A new article in Science magazine gives an overview of almost three decades of research into colloidal quantum dots, assesses the technological progress for these nanometer-sized specs of semiconductor matter,...

Real milk, real cheese – no cows required

July 8, 2021
Will 'animal-free' AI driven processing replace 'plant-based' dairy products? An Israeli start-up is applying AI to precision fermentation to artificially brew the whey and casein proteins that make up real...

SoyFilm: Is this the end of fossil fuel single-use plastics?

June 10, 2021
At last! A sustainable, scalable and 100 percent natural plant protein-based polymer that functions like plastic and can be broken down naturally after use. Inspired by spiders webs, the polymer...
