When Mr Spock and his friends beamed on the surface of an unknown planet, they used fancy instruments to detect life signs. Like many other gadgets “invented” in the Stark Trek Universe, this gadget my be closer to become a reality than you might think.

Carbon-based organic micropollutants in water can be removed by treatment with high-intensity pulses of light in a procedure developed and demonstrated by researchers at Kaust University.

Japanese researchers have identified a series of molecular candidates for those parts of dog allergens that cause immune reactions in people — the first step in developing a vaccine against most causes of dog allergies.

Lunge-feeding whales eat by, you guessed it, lunging at their prey, accelerating at high speed and opening their mouths to engulf water and krill. But why don’t they drown when they gulp down gallons of water and krill? New UBC research may just hold the answer.

The introduction of strain into semiconductors offers a well-known route to modify their band structure. Researchers at the University of Surrey showed a single-step procedure for generating such strains smoothly and deterministically, over a very wide range, using a simple, easily available, highly scalable, ion implantation technique to control the degree of amorphization in and around single-crystal membranes.

Carbon nanotubes are of great interest in both scientific research and commercial applications thanks to the unique properties of the material. A new thesis at Karlstad University, Sweden, looks at how the atomic structure influences the different properties of the material.

Malvern Panalytical, a company providing advanced analysis and services solutions for the pharma drug product development, as well as services and solutions for other industries, has announced its acquisition of Creoptix, a specialist bioanalysis sensor company.

The provider of computational pathology software and services, Indica Labs announced that following ISO13485 certification, Halo AP has received a CE Mark for use in primary diagnosis within the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK.

The inventor of the Gelred and Gelgreen DNA gel stains, Biotium, announces the release of Ember 500 RNA Prestain Loading Dye. This novel prestain loading dye is much more sensitive than conventional prestaining with ethidium bromide (EtBr). In addition, it is compatible with blue LED gel imagers, unlike EtBr, the company states.

The non-profits My Green Lab and the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) have partnered again to reward the best concept to improve cold storage regarding sustainability: The Freezer Challenge 2022.

Pacbio announced an expansion of its extensive suite of Hifi applications with Azenta Life Sciences, formerly Genewiz.

Addressing one of the most profoundly unanswered questions in biology, a Rutgers-led team has discovered the structures of proteins that may be responsible for the origins of life in the primordial soup of ancient Earth.

Eight substances have been added to the US Report on Carcinogens, bringing the total list to 256 substances that are known, or reasonably anticipated, to cause cancer in humans. This is the 15th Report on Carcinogens, which is a cumulative report, mandated by Congress and prepared by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) for the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Thousands of square metres of coral are being grown on previously destroyed reefs in Indonesia, but previously it was unclear whether these new corals would revive the entire reef ecosystem. Now a new study, led by researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Bristol, finds a heathy, diverse soundscape on the restored reefs.

A Cleveland Clinic-led study has revealed new insights into how a diet rich in red meat increases risk for cardiovascular disease. The findings were published in Nature Microbiology and build on more than a decade of research by lead author Stanley Hazen, MD, PhD.

Scientists from UC Riverside are studying how the popular keto and intermittent fasting diets work on a molecular level, and whether both sexes benefit from them equally.

Foie gras has been valued as a delicacy in some cultures for more than 4000 years. The texture — i.e. the feeling that the liver produces in the mouth — cannot yet be imitated. A research group has now tackled this issue in a collaboration attempted to uncover the secrets of liver pâté.

Researchers have revealed that an increase in red or processed meat trade across the globe can be directly linked to a rise in diet-related illnesses (non-communicable diseases). The greatest effect of this scenario can be seen in Northern and Eastern Europe as well as the island nations of Caribbean and Oceania. To take charge of this situation, they suggest that health policies should be integrated with agricultural and trade policies.

Do we have our best ideas while walking? Indeed, but even small movements while sitting improve creativity, as two researchers have discovered.

Medtech and digital health company Onera Health announced the introduction of its first Onera Biomedical-Lab-on-Chip, an ultra-low-power biosignal sensor hub for wearable health.

A density determination can be carried out with a balance. A new poster by Mettler Toledo gives tips on how to set up the density measurement.

Today’s busy laboratories are under pressure to produce, and spilled materials are often an unwelcome show-stopper when weighing. Not anymore. With an new patented lattice weighing pan, laboratory workers keep working while maintaining the accuracy your process requires to enhance productivity and throughput.

Weighing is an important act in every laboratory — but it can become tedious and even uncomfortable. The design of the new, smaller XPR Analytical balance gives a deeper access to the weighing chamber.

Laboratory technicians often don't know which test weights and weight class they should choose to check the performance of their balances and scales. The free Mettler Toledo GWP Recommendation service specifies the correct test weights and weight class based on the degree of accuracy you need to satisfy your specific process tolerances.
