Two specific classes of calcium channel blockers, commonly prescribed for patients with heart diseases, develop separate therapeutic effects based on their actions at varied sites on the calcium channel molecule. This discovery was made through an atomic level analysis.
Researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), North Carolina State University (NC State), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used Bayesian statistical methods to develop a novel approach for materials characterization and as a result, to gain new insights into material structures.

A study, published in App. Phys. Lett. 2016, DOI:10.1063/1.4959272, highlights that only a streak of light is needed to transform a metal-free metamaterial from a state that blocks specific wavelengths of light to a state that allows such restricted wavelengths to pass through.
As custom-made prosthetics can now be easily created with 3D printing, bioengineers are exploring other methods to manufacture real cellular materials. This technology could form the origin for tissue-engineered skin, personalized biomedical devices, bone, cartilage, and even working bladders.
Soft materials possess significant amounts of damping energy, and this is the reason why rubber tires are capable of absorbing the shock of potholes and bumps. If researchers try to develop autonomous soft systems such as soft robots, they will then require a technique to transfer energy across soft materials.
A lot of nothing, or something, is what is required to strengthen or reinforce concrete. The “nothing” part can be defined as microscopic voids and the “something” part has specific particles inserted into the most frequently used construction material on Earth.
Asynt have introduced the CondenSyn Mini - a new high performance air condensor optimised for small scale synthetic chemical reactions performed in 5, 10 and 25ml flasks.

The University of Bristol engineers have developed a new shape-changing metamaterial. This metamaterial was created using an ancient Japanese art known as Kirigami. In Kirigami, 3D shapes are obtained by cutting and folding paper.
Researchers from the Imperial College London have suggested that it is possible to create a new form of light by coupling light into a single electron. The resulting light has the properties of both the electron and the light.
