Lunge-feeding whales eat by, you guessed it, lunging at their prey, accelerating at high speed and opening their mouths to engulf water and krill. But why don’t they drown when they gulp down gallons of water and krill? New UBC research may just hold the answer.

A new study from King’s has found that people who drank red wine had an increased gut microbiota diversity compared to non-red wine drinkers as well as an association with lower levels of obesity and 'bad' cholesterol.

Researchers at the Kaust University in Saudi Arabia have developed a sustainable thin-film composite membrane which is produced from shrimp shells, plant extracts and recycled plastic. The newly developed green composite membrane which can be widely used across various industrial applications such as wastewater treatment, gas separation and chemicals production has the potential to replace conventional membranes.

Waters has taken over Megadalton Solutions, a developer of Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry (CDMS) technology and services. With this move, the company plans to expand its application in cell and gene therapy as CDMS has the potential to overcome the challenges of conventional mass spectrometry in characterizing complex large molecules in cell and gene therapies.

A new free interactive case study to help chemical engineering undergraduate students in conducting laboratory experiments more safely has been produced by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (Icheme)’s Safety Centre.

Jellagen has developed a manufacturing process that allows laboratory technicians to scale up the production of collagen from jellyfish. The resulting product is a new jellyfish collagen hydrogel suitable for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering.

A new study could be the first step for the development of a new family of molecular machines with potential applications both in the field of nanomedicine and in the energy field.

The results of a recent paper reveal how the mosquito sense of smell — known as olfaction — influences how the mosquito responds to visual cues. Knowing which colors attract hungry mosquitoes, and which ones do not, can help design better repellants, traps and other methods to keep mosquitoes at bay.

A few years ago, a novel measurement technique showed that protons are probably smaller than had been assumed since the 1990s. The discrepancy surprised the scientific community. Physicists at the University of Bonn and the Technical University of Darmstadt have now developed a method that allows them to analyze the results of older and more recent experiments much more comprehensively than before.

Modern vehicles can no longer be imagined without them: assistance systems that support the driver. In this article, you can find out how assistance systems for analytical devices can help users in the laboratory with their work.
