pH control in tissue culture: The key to cellular success
This article explores why accurate pH measurement matters and how pH shapes vital cellular processes.
New AI platform aims for early pest detection
The earlier intervention promised by this device is expected to help support integrated pest management (IPM), enhance labor efficiency and reduce chemical and energy inputs.
Brewing up low-carbon concrete with coffee waste
The team determined, using a life-cycle analysis, that biochar derived from spent coffee grounds could be used to produce a lower-carbon concrete while simultaneously supporting strength benefits.
Coffee grounds extend blueberry shelf life
The UNSW Sydney team is working to prolong the shelf life of fruits with an edible film derived from coffee waste. This film promises to help preserve the freshness of delicate fruits like blueberries by limiting how much water seeps in or out.
Researchers develop quick-setting, sustainable material to replace concrete in 3D printing
The team created a clay-based material that cures during extrusion thanks to an acrylamide binder that triggers a frontal polymerization reaction.
AI tool forecasts earthquake aftershock risk in just seconds
The team trained machine learning tools using earthquake data obtained from seismic hotspots like California, New Zealand, Italy, Japan and Greece and applied the technology to earthquakes that were magnitudes of four or higher.
Eco-friendly mushroom coating promises to replace traditional plastic wrap
The team used edible fungus in combination with processed wood fibers to develop a coating capable of blocking water, oil and grease and that is food-safe.
Engineered fungus produces a protein-packed meat alternative
The team explained that Fusarium venenatum is already known for its meat-like natural texture and flavor, however its thick walls previously posed a digestive challenge, and its manufacture required intensive resources.
