Research team develops yarn-like material from human skin cells
An international team of researchers led by the University of Bordeaux in France has created a yarn-like material derived from human skin cells.
Researchers develop fingerprinting method to detect cocaine use
Teams from Surrey University, the National Physical Laboratory, Forensic Science Ireland and Intelligent Fingerprinting have devised a new fingerprinting method to detect cocaine use.
Team develops 3D printing resin using waste oil from McDonald's
Researchers from the University of Toronto Scarborough are turning cooking oil waste into high-resolution resin for 3D printing.
Team improves the adhesion of wearable sensors
To improve the adhesion of wearable sensors, researchers from the University of Tsukuba in Japan have modified a commonly used polymer to better adhere sensors to the body.
An inside look at a lab dedicated to industrial filtration and fluids analysis
HILCO Laboratory Services provide a full suite of rigorous world-class test capabilities to support industrial filtration and fluids analysis.
Corrosion fatigue led to a fatal pipeline rupture, NTSB says
Corrosion fatigue cracks along with external loading that caused bending stress, led to a pipeline rupture that released more than 108,000 gallons of liquid anhydrous ammonia.
Fern-inspired textile can remove oil from water
Researchers from Germany’s Universities of Bonn and Aachen and the Heimbach-GmbH are applying the super water repellant (or super hydrophobic) properties found in a family of floating ferns to textiles designed for removing oil from bodies of water.
Watch: First images of the sun from new solar telescope
The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, the world's largest solar telescope, captured its first image of the Sun, providing the highest-resolution image of the star to date.
Color-changing bandage signals infection and delivers drugs
The smart material changes color when an infection or drug-resistant bacteria is detected and administers drugs accordingly.
Video: Energy reuse demonstrated in a multi-turn particle accelerator
Energy efficiency comes to the study of particle physics with a successful test of energy capture and reuse technology in a multi-turn particle accelerator.
Sorting used batteries for second life service
A new procedure allows quick assessment of the suitability of used electric car batteries for reuse in stationary energy storage systems.
A spectroscopic approach to painless glucose monitoring
The technique offers a non-invasive way to transdermally monitor blood glucose levels.
Nuclear waste disposal materials prone to fast corrosion
Materials used to store such waste corrode far more quickly than previously thought and could pose environmental hazards once buried in repositories.
New technology may reduce injection-site pain associated with some common drugs
The platform enables drug manufacturers to measure the causes of tissue swelling.
Study: Eliminating empty and half-full cargo ships from traffic would reduce carbon emissions and save money
Researchers from the Laboratory of Industrial Management at Abo Akademi University found a way to improve ship utilization rates and increase investments in environmentally sustainable technologies.
Improved cancer chip speeds up drug testing
Glioblastoma accounts for 50% of all malignant brain tumors, with a five-year survival rate of only 5.6%. A device developed at the University of Houston may help improve those odds.
Red blood cells recruited for targeted drug delivery
Modified cell constructs carrying a pharmaceutical payload can be injected into the body without triggering an immune response.
Ultra low carryover valve increases throughput, simplifies fluidic circuits for clinical diagnostic and analytical chemistry instrumentation
The valve is suitable for a variety of different liquids and can achieve a water flow rate of up to 395 ml/min at 45 psi (3 bar).
Tracking wildlife diversity with environmental DNA
The potential for environmental DNA analysis to provide a more cost-effective means of animal identification and monitoring relative to camera trapping was examined.
