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 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...

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...

Bright future for multitasking CRISPR as it tackles complex diseases and COVID

January 29, 2021
In these pseudo-dystopian days of unprecedented pandemic. white-coated men and women in labs all over the world are the shock troops in a relentless campaign against the unseen enemy. Here...

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...

Antibiotic resistance may spread even more easily than expected

January 27, 2021
Pathogenic bacteria in humans are developing resistance to antibiotics much faster than expected. Now, Jan Zrimec, a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has used computational research to show...

Love life, love remote working: applying biophilic principles to your home office

January 27, 2021
Derived in 1964 by the social psychologist Erich Fromm, 'biophilia' means to love life. Here, architect Robert Hopkins, follows up on his article in our January issue that looks at...

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...
