Researchers have developed a sponge-like aerogel that uses only sunlight to turn seawater into drinkable water. Unlike previous materials, the new design maintains high efficiency regardless of size, offering a simple and scalable solution for sustainable desalination without external energy.

Amsbio has recently introduced Extragel, a like-for-like replacement for Matrigel, Geltrex and Cultrex Basement Membrane Extract (BME).

Scientists have developed a new AI tool – iseg which has the capacity to not only match doctors in accurately outlining lung tumors on CT scans but can also identify areas that some doctors may miss.

At the Marine Biological Laboratory, scientists have ingeniously fused two powerful imaging techniques — polarized fluorescence and dual-view light sheet microscopy — to create a groundbreaking hybrid microscope. This innovation enables researchers to capture both the 3D orientation and position of molecules inside cells.

From environmental samples to active substances and foodstuffs, the range of samples that can be analyzed using elemental analysis is extremely wide. Shimadzu now offers the new TOC-L series for this purpose.

Fragile no more: University of Houston researchers have engineered ceramic structures that flex without breaking — blending ancient origami with modern materials science. Their innovation could revolutionize fields from aerospace to medicine.

Scientists have developed a realistic ‘micro-gut’ model that can help them to study the relationship between gut microbes and human diseases. The 3D scalable ‘gut-on-a-chip’ model enables real-time visualisation of the interactions of gut microbes and the human intestine.

Researchers have developed ‘sponge-like’ microneedle patches that have the capacity to deliver bioactive ingredients and reduce inflammation in slow- and non-healing wounds for diabetic people.

Columbia Engineering researchers have developed a method for robots to gain kinematic self-awareness — learning about their own bodies and movements simply by watching themselves on camera. This allows robots to adapt to damage, refine their actions, and operate without constant human intervention.

Amsbio has introduced Matrimix for PDX, a fully defined extracellular matrix hydrogel which comprises of collagen, laminin-511 E8 fragments and hyaluronic acid. The defined hydrogel has been optimized to support patient-derived xenograft studies.
