Deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV-LEDs) made from aluminium gallium nitride (AlGaN) efficiently transfer electrical energy to optical energy due to the growth of one of its bottom layers in a step-like fashion. This finding, published in the journal Applied Physics Letters, can lead to the development of even more efficient LEDs.

A new device developed by New Zealand's University of Otago and UK researchers is set to help fight the global obesity epidemic. Participants in a Dunedin-based trial lost an average of 6.36 kg in two weeks and were motivated to continue with their weight loss journey.

To stay ahead of the ever-increasing global demand for its state-of-the-art fill-finish and lyophilization (freeze dryer) equipment, SP Scientific Products has more than doubled its worldwide manufacturing capacity.

For use with robotic liquid handling and research workstations, Avantor has introduced J.T. Baker premium robotic tips. Engineered to help scientists and researchers move from discovery to delivery faster, the tips are ideal for a range of applications, from genomics and cell biology to proteomic workflows.

The Analytica Lab Africa will take place for the first time from July 9 to 11, 2019, on the premises of the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg. Following its acquisition by Messe München and its integration into Analytica’s network, the event is set to continue growing in the promising market of Africa.

US company Bio-Rad Laboratories announced the launch of the Reliance Sars-Cov-2/FluA/FluB RT-PCR Kit (IVD) for European markets after having met the CE-IVD mark requirements.

Phytoplankton form the base of the marine food chain but are difficult for scientists to account for. An independent underwater vehicle designed by NTNU has accomplished this task and could thus provide insights into the declining populations of seabirds.

Removing water vapor from air and other gas mixtures, which is crucial for many industrial processes and air conditioning, could become cheaper and more effective through polymer membrane technology now developed at Kaust.

New research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that one type of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) has a previously unknown role in protecting the liver from injury. This HDL protects the liver by blocking inflammatory signals produced by common gut bacteria.

Sartorius Stedim Biotech and Novasep have entered into a collaboration agreement in the area of chromatography and single-use bioprocessing. The joint systems are to provide an alternative to batch and continuous resin-based chromatography.
