The first 'CCZ checklist' reveals a vast biodiversity and need for protection of this area in the Pacific Ocean. Researchers urge a comprehensive study before mining is allowed there.

Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed an edible plant-based cell culture scaffold which will help to produce cheaper and more sustainable lab-grown meat. These scaffolds can also be 3D printed.

Researchers have developed a solar-powered technology that converts carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuels that can be added directly to a car’s engine as drop-in fuel.

High blood pressure is treated by the diuretic drug which can increase the risk of developing diabetes. Researches have now found out the cause behind this development and at the same time also shared new information on diabetes.

Niobium-graphene batteries have been developed by the Centre for Advanced 2D Materials at the National University of Singapore and CBMM. Currently being tested at the high-tech CBMM-CA2DM Advanced Battery Laboratory in Singapore, these batteries can be used in various applications such as medical devices, electric vehicles, aerospace equipment, etc.

Waters Corporation announced it has completed its acquisition of Wyatt Technology, a pioneer in innovative light scattering and field-flow fractionation instruments, software, accessories, and services. With the acquisition of Wyatt, Waters wants to accelerate its ability to build a high-growth business in bioanalytical characterization for new modalities.

Researchers have developed a solar-powered technology that converts carbon dioxide and water into liquid fuels that can be added directly to a car’s engine as drop-in fuel.

Solvay has recently opened a new application development lab in China which aims to meet the growing customer demand for tailored solutions with high-performance materials in the country.

Researchers have developed a new ‘lab-on-a-chip’ testing technology that can help a person, who doesn’t have access to medical centers, to know if they are suffering from Covid-19 or flu.

Due to increased requirements in stability, durability and recyclability, modern packaging films consist of a growing number of thin layers. This is where the previously common infrared spectroscopy reaches its limits. Horiba has unlocked new possibilities using Raman microscopy, which automatically analyses multi-layered films in just a few minutes.

With an aim to provide scientists access to a holistic IoT device and lab management solution, Eppendorf has collaborated with Clustermarket to integrate Eppendorf’s software and hardware components with Clustermarket’s operating system.

Researchers have developed an ultrathin and lightweight electronic tattoo that can be attached to the chest for monitoring a person’s heart. This new wearable can be used at home and will also help to detect heart diseases at an early stage.

The first 'CCZ checklist' reveals a vast biodiversity and need for protection of this area in the Pacific Ocean. Researchers urge a comprehensive study before mining is allowed there.

Researchers develop a method to estimate the age of microplastics in the ocean, and find that offshore microplastics can range from 1 to 3 years old while nearshore microplastics can range from 0 to 5 years old.

Researchers have developed a new sponge that has the capacity to remove toxic heavy metals from contaminated water, thus leaving safe drinking water behind. The innovative sponge can also be reused multiple times.

Researchers from Brazil showed that Amazonian dark earth (ADE), soils enriched by Amerindian people thousands of years ago, increases the establishment and growth of seedlings of tree species important for reforestation. By copying the composition of ADE, especially its microbes, reforestation in Brazil and elsewhere could be sped up.

Vegetarian and vegan diets are linked to lower levels of cholesterol and fats in your blood, according to an analysis of all the evidence from randomised trials published since 1982. The authors of a study say this means that plant-based diets can play a significant role in reducing blocked arteries, thereby lowering the risk of heart and blood vessel diseases, such as stroke and heart attacks.

Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed an edible plant-based cell culture scaffold which will help to produce cheaper and more sustainable lab-grown meat. These scaffolds can also be 3D printed.

Researchers have developed an edible antimicrobial coating from cannabidiol and sodium alginate. When strawberries are submerged into the coating, it has the potential to increase the shelf life of the fruit.

Researchers have reported a chitosan-based coating that helps to keep avocados fresh for a longer period of time. They have also developed an imaging technique which helps to predict the shelf life of these fruits.

Researchers have found that patients who suffered from type 2 diabetes reported greater improvements in their blood sugar levels when they exercised during the afternoon as compared to any other time of the day.

Scientists applied a technology used in cancer research to model a roadmap of chemicals important for agriculture, food production and climate resilience. This chemical roadmap provides a resource that scientists can use to find new ways of regulating plant growth.

A second major study from the Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study has concluded that a daily intake of multivitamin supplements can help improve memory as well as slow cognitive aging in older adults.

Kathryn Macapagal, an associate professor of medical social sciences and psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has stressed that social media is not universally harmful for the youth but in fact has many advantages especially for teens that are LGBTQ, immunocompromised or have disabilities.
