Deadly Virus

Molecular Map of Hantavirus

Hantavirus, transmitted from rodents to humans is one of the highest concerns for future pandemics. Researchers have produced a detailed blue print of a protein complex that the Ande Virus uses to infect the host cells. This move will help design effective vaccines and antibody therapies against the deadly Hantavirus.

Integrated Automation Trends in Cell Line Development and 3D Biology

Modern biologics and cell therapy programs increasingly rely on workflows that can generate high-quality cell lines and physiologically relevant 3D models with both speed and reproducibility. Yet many laboratories continue to experience bottlenecks rooted in manual processes, heterogeneous culture formats, and fragmented instrumentation. These challenges introduce variability, constrain throughput, and make it difficult to compare results across experiments or sites.

Drone Tracking

Honey Bees Follow Highly Precise Individual Routes

Honey bees navigate with striking individual precision, according to a drone-based study by researchers at the University of Freiburg. High-resolution 3D tracking shows that each bee follows its own consistent route between hive and food source, using landscape landmarks to stay on course. The findings reveal far greater navigational accuracy than previously assumed from the waggle dance.

New Robot Hand Can Now Pick a Potato Chip

A new robotic hand makes use of the Forte technology to grasp objectives that are sensitive to touch such as a potato chip or raspberries without crushing it. The innovation has the potential to improve robot performances in food processing, health care and manufacturing.
