A team of researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University has developed a method to identify food poisoning-causing bacteria as different colours of light under the microscope, shortening the turnaround...
An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has developed a robotic swarm of iron oxide nanoparticles that can remove plaque from teeth via brushing and flossing, as...
Researchers at Rice University have developed a novel method, to control and use the dead bodies of spiders for gripping micro-sized objects. Some may view spiders as creepy and dangerous and might...
Researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology have developed a novel method to produce unprecedentedly high levels of lutein through the use of systems metabolic engineering. What is...
The catalytic intermediates and key characteristics of the mechanism of the conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol with a copper-based catalyst have been identified by researchers at the University...
Bacteria are known to be adaptive to their environments, but how exactly are they able to thrive in the presence of known antimicrobials? To survive in the human body, many strains of bacteria, both...
Researchers have found a safe way to generate a mist of nano-sized particles using plasma, which has the potential to be utilised in novel methods for transdermal drug delivery. In recent years, the...
Researchers in Singapore have developed a novel synthetic polymer, in the form of a thermogel that reduces the incidence of vision loss after a failed retinal detachment surgery attempt. A team of...
Mathematicians at Kyoto University have developed a model that simulates cell cooperation and movements during the formation of geometric patterns essential for the proper functioning of sensory...
The structure and mechanism of the nematocyst – the organelle responsible for jellyfish and sea anemone stings, has been elucidated and caught in action in the starlet sea anemone for the first...
A novel machine learning method can identify past infections using unprecedentedly small datasets retrieved from T-cell receptors and has the potential to enhance the understanding of how the immune...
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore, have found that elevated blood levels of an amino acid called homocysteine correlate strongly with the severity of an advanced form of non-alcoholic...
