Collecting and analyzing the amount of toxic micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) in water is comparatively easy: Fill a bucket from your source, evaporate the water, and count and characterize the plastics that are left behind. ...
Newly developed DNA nanostructures can form flexible, fluid, and stimuli-responsive condensates without relying on chemical cross-linking, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo and Chuo University, in the ...
University of Queensland researchers have developed an affordable, open-source DNA measurement tool that can be built using a home 3D printer.
Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have created the world's simplest artificial cell capable of chemical navigation, migrating toward specific substances like living cells do.
Bioengineered organs are no longer just structural substitutes. A review published in Trends in Biotechnology introduces a groundbreaking concept: biohybrid-engineered tissue (BHET) platforms—living constructs integrated ...
A new integrated energy platform using multiple renewable energy sources has been successfully developed and tested, enabling energy independence and carbon reduction in agriculture. Compared to conventional greenhouse systems, ...
Every spring, melting snow and heavy rainfall brings a higher risk of flooding and riverbank erosion to parts of Canada. Bank erosion is responsible for a significant portion of annual flood damage in Canada, with estimates ...
Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein manufacture has long been hidden inside the ...
To make advances in using microbes to sustainably produce materials, it is necessary to find new molecular tools, or enzymes—but this is labor intensive. A Kobe University team has developed a technique that can classify ...
Laboratory and field experiments have repeatedly demonstrated that modifications to the process of photosynthesis or to the physical characteristics of plants can make crops more resilient to hotter temperatures.
