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.

What if your body could tell you exactly what it needs in real time? Caltech scientists have developed advanced wearable sensors, powered by nanoparticle technology, that continuously track key biomarkers like vitamins, metabolites, and medications.

For millennia, locust swarms have been a symbol of devastation, moving as one unstoppable force across landscapes. But how do these insects coordinate such massive, synchronized movements? Scientists once believed the answer lay in simple physics — locusts aligning like particles in a magnetic field. Now, a groundbreaking study has upended that view.

Researchers have discovered a unique method for encoding natural touch sensations of the hand via specific microstimulation patterns in implantable electrodes in the brain. This method will allow individuals with spinal cord injuries not only to control a bionic arm with their brain, but also to feel tactile edges, shapes, curvatures and movements.
