    Microbubbles can target tumor sites with cancer drugs and avoid detrimental effects to healthy tissues.

  • Video: Earring enables glucose monitoring in style

    A non-invasive blood glucose monitoring approach based on a fashionable wearable device replaces the finger prick sting with bling.

  • Watch how CRISPR and smartphone tech combine to detect COVID-19

    The diagnostic uses a smartphone camera to provide accurate results in under 30 minutes.

  • Bacteria eats sludge and produces bioplastics

    The new bacteria could greatly reduce sludge and wastewater.

  • Study: Humans can be encouraged to take risks by robots

    When playing an online game, participants were encouraged to take risks by robots.

  • Watch: Disposable chip delivers portability for infectious disease diagnostics

    The lab-on-a-chip assay was engineered to provide low-cost handheld infectious disease testing outside of the clinic environment.

  • Sterile storage cabinets provide portable and cost-effective cleanroom environments

    Under certain circumstances, budget, time and space constraints make it impossible to construct a cleanroom, and it is necessary to have a rapidly deployable or portable cleanroom solution.

  • Watch: Road tire component implicated in salmon mortality

    Coho salmon death in the Pacific Northwest is linked to a chemical widely used to protect tires from ozone.

  • Watch: The end of the Arecibo era

    The end of the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico came sooner than expected: the 305 m radio telescope collapsed on December 1, 2020.

  • Highly flexible VNA cables support frequencies up to 70 GHz

    The test cables are ideal for use in precise benchtop testing, semiconductor probe testing and lab/production testing requiring a durable, yet highly flexible cable solution.

  • LEXT™ OLS5100 3D laser scanning microscope: Smart workflow, faster experiments

    The LEXT™ OLS5100 3D laser scanning microscope is built for failure analysis and material engineering research.

  • Watch: FDA clears most powerful clinical MRI

    The 7-tesla MRI scanner is designed to address limitations of current MRI systems by using ultrahigh-field magnet technology that offers five times more power than most scanners.

  • Watch: Compact scanner produces 3D color X-rays

    The flat greyscale imagery of X-ray technology now assumes color and a third dimension with a compact scanner developed specifically for hand and wrist imaging.

  • Researchers study microbiome of Da Vinici drawings

    The microbiome is the key to the history of these drawings.

  • Watch a solar-driven autoclave steam-clean medical tools

    The technology could provide pressurized steam to run autoclaves without the need for electricity in off-grid areas.

  • Low-allergen, non-GMO soybeans could be a step towards lowering food allergy reactions

    The new, low-allergen soybean is a step towards creating allergy-free food.

  • Researchers hope to put a cork in wine fraud

    A molecular fingerprinting technique based on fluorescence spectroscopy offers a fast, simple method of authenticating wine.

  • Blueprints shared for low-cost single-molecule microscope

    The open-source microscopy platform allows biological molecule dynamics measurements at a fraction of the price of typical commercial systems.

  • Photocatalytic reduction of chromium in wastewater demonstrated

    The process reduces toxic hexavalent chromium to its more benign trivalent form in wastewater.

  • Toxic algae bloom into biocrude

    A three-year research project led by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center seeks to recover energy and nutrients from blue-green algal blooms.
