The BIOMAT group at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) has developed an active, biodegradable container for packaging of solid and liquid oily products. This container is made from agro-industrial by-products. It is transparent and can prevent gases like oxygen and ultraviolet light from entering the container. This container can be printed upon and can also be thermally sealed.
A recent study by the Department of Chemistry at the University of Kent, UK provides a detailed analysis of deep well microplates and the significant levels of contamination found in more than 50% of the commercially available plates tested.
The claim by microbiologist Derek Lovley and his colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Amherst that the microbe Geobacter produces nanowires has been the subject of a great deal of scientific debate over the last decade. Now a new collaborative study has provided strong evidence in accordance with their claims.
A new class of protein-based, smart materials has been created by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. These materials could help develop new kinds of drug release systems, flow valves, biological sensors and sensitive, flexible coatings that can manufactured at low-cost on an industrial scale.
Rockefeller University researchers have identified a new method which reveals the complex molecular structure of cholesterol by mapping a key enzyme structure during cholesterol production.
An innovative surface coating has been developed for medical implants using FDA-approved materials by a Harvard research team. This new solution has the potential to address bacterial infection and blood clotting, which are the two major problems currently faced by medical devices.
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed biocompatible electronic devices which are completely soluble in water.
A team of researchers from the FOM Institute AMOLF and Forschungszentrum Jülich have discovered that the filaments of biopolymer networks become soft when transitioning from an entwined spaghetti of filaments to aligned bow-shaped filaments.
Researchers at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed safe antibacterial fibres using bio-compatible plastics and lanosol, an antimicrobial compound found in red algae seaweeds. Silver ions are widely used in odor-free and antibacterial clothing, and safety of these materials has been widely debated.
Taking inspiration from the Mantis Shrimps eyes, University of Queensland scientists, in partnership with US and UK researchers, have developed an advanced camera capable of visualizing brain activity and detecting various forms of cancer.
