Researchers have used a promising combination of cathode and electrolyte to increase the energy density and stability of lithium metal batteries. The resulting battery achieves record-breaking values.

Researchers at EPFL have come up with a new middle infrared light source that can detect greenhouse and other gases in the air, as well as molecules in a person’s breath. According to the developers, their system takes up considerably less space than the large ones typically used for such tasks.

Austrian researchers have identified two sugar-binding proteins that impede the viral entry of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. The team, spearheaded by researchers at IMBA — Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences – may have found the “Achilles’ heel” of the virus, with potential for pan-variant therapeutic interventions.

With it's new Mini 96 portable electronic pipette Integra Biosciences intends to give every lab access to significantly increased liquid handling productivity.

A new project aims at developing a technology for extracting protein from organic waste, which can subsequently be used as a protein supplement for humans or in animal feed.

Thermo Fisher Scientific and Genovis, a provider of enzyme products for biological drug development, announced a collaborative research project. The aim of the collaboration is to develop advanced end-to-end workflows for the preparation, characterization and monitoring of novel and complex biotherapeutics using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

Using a state-of-the-art multi-column chromatography system provided by Sartorius Stedim Biotech, a team at McMaster University wants to “perfect” a process for the purification of therapeutic viruses that is more effective and cheaper than those currently available. This is to pave the way for new and more affordable treatments to reach patients with a variety of needs. “

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 drive specialist Faulhaber has extended its BXT flat motor series by adding matched gearheads as well as integrated encoders and speed controllers that are also exceptionally short in the axial direction.

They are green, they grow fast, they are powerful — microalgae are, so to say, small versions of the incredible Hulk. And they have their superhero story, too. Follow us on a trip to a biobased micro-world …
