| A new amplifying technique for weak and noisy signals Posted: 02 Feb 2022 08:17 AM PST Scientists have demonstrated a technique for the recovery of weak, noise-dominated optical signals. |
| New lightweight material is stronger than steel Posted: 02 Feb 2022 08:17 AM PST Chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel, as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities. |
| The path to renewable fuel just got easier Posted: 02 Feb 2022 06:19 AM PST The holy grail of bio-fuel researchers is to develop a self-sustaining process that converts waste from sewage, food crops, algae and other renewable carbon sources into fuels, while keeping waste carbon out of our atmosphere and water. Much progress has been made in converting such waste to useful fuel but completing the cycle using clean energy has proved a tough nut to crack. |
| Magnetic seeds used to heat and kill cancer Posted: 01 Feb 2022 05:11 PM PST Scientists have developed a novel cancer therapy that uses an MRI scanner to guide a magnetic seed through the brain to heat and destroy tumors. |
| Artificial intelligence system rapidly predicts how two proteins will attach Posted: 01 Feb 2022 01:56 PM PST A new machine learning system can predict the structure formed when two proteins dock, in a process that's between 50 to 800 times faster than some software-based methods. This could help scientists better understand biological processes or speed the development of new therapies. |
| Mass customization can make fashion more sustainable if customers are willing to wait for it Posted: 01 Feb 2022 01:56 PM PST Mass customization, where customers order clothing made to their own style tastes and measurements, has been proposed as one solution to overproduction. But the logistical challenges of tailoring garments to individual customer requests and lengthy manufacturing lead times have discouraged most firms from adopting mass customization. They might want to reconsider that decision, according to a new study. |
| New model to investigate fibrosis treatments without use of animals Posted: 01 Feb 2022 11:40 AM PST A new 3D connective tissue model gives researchers a sophisticated tool to understand the underlying mechanisms of connective tissue disorders and test potential treatments. |
| Single-use sensor strips detect cerebrospinal fluid leaks Posted: 01 Feb 2022 08:53 AM PST Researchers developed a single-use sensor strip that can be used with a circuit board to detect cerebrospinal fluid leaks. They collected nine clinical samples and introduced the test fluid into a small liquid channel on the tip of the sensor strips. The liquid channel held electrodes, which contained antibodies specific to proteins found only in human cerebrospinal fluid. The circuit board analyzed the signal and produced a four-digit number that correlates to the concentration of the protein beta-2-transferrin, found in CSF. |
| More predictive in vitro assays may improve nanomedicine Posted: 01 Feb 2022 08:52 AM PST One recent obstacle to drug delivery research is an observed weak correlation between in vitro and in vivo performance. When nanoparticles are applied intravenously, they face several obstacles that differ from in vitro situations. Nanoparticles are usually covered by a biomolecular multilayer (a protein corona), which alters the physiochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, and toxicity profile of the nanoparticles. |
| Researchers study waves created by recreational boats Posted: 01 Feb 2022 08:52 AM PST A new study found that popular wakesurf boats require a greater distance from the shoreline and other boats compared to more typical recreational boats. This distance is needed to reduce the potential impact of their larger waves. |
| A new way to store sustainable energy: 'Information batteries' Posted: 01 Feb 2022 08:52 AM PST Renewable energy has an intermittency problem -- the sun provides no power at night, while winds can stop suddenly. Better battery storage is considered key to solving the intermittency problem by storing energy when the wind and sun are strong. But current storage solutions, including lithium-ion batteries and pumped hydro, are expensive and challenging to scale. What if surplus renewable energy could be stored as computation instead? |
| Posted: 26 Jan 2022 11:39 AM PST Biomedical researchers report that their latest innovation in developing synthetic platelets could help save lives by rapidly stabilizing clots to reduce blood loss from traumatic injuries. This new effort centers on the creation of next-generation, platelet-mimicking nanoparticles that help generate a protein mesh that acts as a natural netting to stabilize blood clots and help stop bleeding. If proven safe and efficient in clinical trials, the technology would bolster the scientists' advances in a decade-long effort to develop and optimize what they call synthetic platelet surrogates. |
