During use some sunscreens offer very limited protection against dangerous sunrays and may even be harmful, a new collaborative study between the University of Leeds, the University of Oregon, and Oregon State University reveals.

Samsung Biologics and Enzolytics announced the signing of a strategic CDMO partnership agreement for the development and manufacturing of Anti-HIV and Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Monoclonal Antibody Therapies.

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have succeeded in creating tiny vehicles powered by nothing but light. By layering an optical metasurface onto a microscopic particle, and then using a light source to control it, they succeeded in moving the tiny vehicles in a variety of complex and precise ways — and even using them to transport other objects.

A new research project aims to improve treatment for patients with prostate, breast and lung cancer through artificial intelligence. The consortium behind the project wants to develop healthcare evidence-generation practices for the incorporation of real-world evidence into clinical practice guidelines (CPGs).

Magnets formed from a single molecule are of particular interest in data storage, since the ability to store a bit on every molecule could vastly increase the storage capacity of computers. Researchers have now developed a new molecular system with a particular magnetic hardness.

In a new study, a research group at Arizona State University explores different approaches to catalysis, a chemical process that plays an essential role in biological reactions, as well as many industrial applications.

Multi-enzyme analysis can now be achieved through a single, fully-automated enzyme analyzer, benefiting industrial enzyme manufacturers and enzyme users in the food, beverage, biopharmaceutical, fuel ethanol and chemical, and solid waste management industries.

The abbreviation ‘HPLC’ stands for High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. In a previous article, we already reported on chromatography, what it is and how it can be performed. One of these options, as described there, is the HPLC variant. In this article, we will talk about how it is performed, what it is used for and what makes it different from normal liquid chromatography.

Chromatography is a physical separation process. Here, the separation of a mixture of substances is allowed by different distribution of the individual components between a stationary and mobile phase. The stationary phase does not move. The sample and a running medium result in the mobile phase. Chromatography is nowadays an integral part of biochemistry, food chemistry, environmental chemistry, etc. Chromatographic analysis methods are used for qualitative and quantitative analysis.

The term "sour" has something to do with the so-called pH value: pH stands for pondus Hydrogenii, which means "weight of hydrogen", i.e. the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The pH value therefore indicates how acidic (sour) or basic a solution is, with the most commonly measured values ranging from around 0 to 14. How the value is calculated, how its being tested and what it means exactly is explained in this article.

Worldwide, the quantity and diversity of insects are declining: scientists have reported more and more evidence for this in recent years. In politics and society, these findings have raised great concern. Now, a study analyzing the impact of climate and land use shows that urbanization is yet another key factor insect population decline.

The idea of biodegradable plastics sounds good at first. However, very little is known about how they are degraded in the soil and how this is influenced by climate change. In two recent studies, soil ecologists at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) have shown which microbial community is responsible for degradation, what role the climate plays in this process, and why biodegradable plastics could still be problematic.

Due to agricultural emissions and wastewater from industry and households, nitrogen concentrations in estuaries are rising in many parts of the world. A team of international scientists shows that seaweed farms in river estuaries significantly reduce nitrogen concentrations and prevent environmental pollution.

The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) has announced the development of a stable performance electrospun nanofiber membrane to turn seawater into drinking water by membrane distillation process.

Columbia Engineers invent software-controlled robotic lasers that cook food with unparalleled precision, retaining more moisture, and creating an entirely new, customized way to cook a tasty meal. Blind taste-testers even preferred laser-cooked meat to the conventionally cooked samples.

Governments around the world are increasingly prioritizing aquatic foods to nourish nations. Researchers call for a systematic policy approach to ensure aquatic foods help reduce malnutrition rates.

A popular youtube video shows, how epoxying can make a hole hot dog last in pretty much perfect condition for at least nine months. Could this also work with fresh food with no preservatives, like a strawberry for instance? Take a look at the experiment and its results.

The calories that US kids consumed from ultraprocessed foods jumped from 61 % to 67 % of total caloric intake from 1999 to 2018, according to a new study. Surprisingly, there were no statistically significant differences in the overall findings by parental education and family income.

Predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory medicine (P4) is the healthcare of the future. However, large-scale research studies towards better diagnoses and targeted therapies are currently hampered by data privacy and security concerns. New global collaborative research has developed a solution to these challenges.

A novel clinical candidate analgesic drug for peripheral neuropathic pain developed by Alzecure, is based on the seminal discoveries of TRPV1 by Prof. David Julius, and for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine 2021.

Point-of-care test solutions can provide immediate on-site insights into the patient’s condition and thus can save hassle with logistics, time and money. In this interview with MEDICA-tradefair.com, Jürgen Neumann from LRE Medical explains how this helps in emergency medicine – and beyond.

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.
