Early-alert patch flags allergic responses before symptoms hit
The AllergE patch is a microneedle-based biosensor that painlessly detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) — which is the antibody that triggers allergic reactions — from the fluid beneath the skin.
Fabric that cleans itself could make detergent obsolete
The coating was developed by spraying a fabric with two polymers — poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and poly(vinylsulfonic acid) (PVS) — which together created a dense hydration layer that lets dirt and microbes be washed away with just water.
The importance of soil pH measurement in plant health
This article provides an overview of the crucial role soil pH plays in plant health and guidance on managing soil pH to achieve optimal plant growth.
Fungi turn leftovers into lifesaving resources
The team is focused on an "emerging circular fungal biorefinery," which is a system wherein low-value agricultural byproducts are converted via fungal fermentation into high-protein, nutrient-rich foods.
Old bread, new energy: New process cuts fossil fuels from chemical manufacturing
In the lab, the team used a common strain of E. coli to consume sugars from waste bread via a new approach as a green alternative for several industries.
Black soldier fly larvae emerge as safe solution for organic waste disposal
During trials of the new approach, the larvae ate spoiled food, sewage sludge and livestock manure, thus removing most human-pathogenic viruses.
Arburg at Chinaplas 2026: Everything for the Asian market
The new Allrounder Trend electric machine concept will celebrate its Asian premiere at Chinaplas 2026.
Paving block made entirely from recycled mollusk shells, mining waste
The team replaced traditional mortar and concrete aggregates with a shell-based material made from Acanthocardia tuberculata, an edible saltwater clam commonly canned and sold commercially.
Refrigerant alternatives and industry adoption
The shift away from high global warming potential fluorinated gases in cooling systems requires technical re-evaluation of the balance between thermodynamic efficiency, operational safety and total lifecycle climate impact.
Fish scales could pave the way for human cornea regeneration
Following thorough analysis, the team found that fish scales showed strong potential for corneal repair and regeneration, demonstrating functional success in lab tests and in implanted experimental animals.
Hypersonic heat: Next-gen ceramics could solve re-entry ablation issues
When craft undergo atmospheric re-entry, ablative thermal protection systems (TPSs) save the day. Sometimes they fail. Replacing them is expensive. New research sheds light on how to elevate TPS performance.
Liquid metal and light power green hydrogen production
An economical means of extracting sustainable hydrogen from seawater or freshwater relies on liquid gallium, a metal with a low melting point, to pull the gas directly from water when exposed to light.
Digital isn’t enough: The real challenge behind flowmeter innovation
From the oil and gas sector and chemical processing to beverage production and HVAC systems, countless industries depend on precise flow measurements in their operations. Understanding the movement of liquids and gases within a system is essential for achieving optimal performance.
SEEPEX expands pump offering for the growing US renewable energy natural gas sector
New pump sizes and systems offer higher flow rates, optimized substrate handling and maintenance-friendly technology tailored to U.S. renewable natural gas facilities.
9 essential tips to keep lab measurements accurate, compliant and efficient
In today’s fast-evolving laboratory environment, achieving accurate and reliable measurements is more critical than ever.
Merits and challenges of perovskite solar cells
Despite performance and low-cost fabrication gains for these solar cells, challenges remain concerning long-term stability and manufacturing scale-up.
Using clay to rapidly control severe hemorrhaging
A suite of injectable hemostatic bandages derived from biomedical materials halts bleeding and encourages blood to clot faster.
The printer for the smallest details
Motors, encoders and other components from FAULHABER propel this printer to yield objects visible only under a scanning electron microscope.
Harwin, Nicomatic and The New Materialist partner to replace plastics in electronic components
The focus is on regenerative biomaterials capable of replacing the traditional plastics used for the connector industry, including for high-performance and high-reliability units.
New gel infuses oxygen to treat persistent wounds
The new gel is expected to address what researchers explain is the cause of many chronic wounds: insufficient oxygen delivery to the deepest layers of damaged tissue.
