A research team at the Northwestern University has developed a unique transistor which is based on a new kind of electronic polymer and a vertical. Capable of conducting electricity and ions, the transistor proves beneficial for biomedical sensing.

Waters Corporation announced it has completed its acquisition of Wyatt Technology, a pioneer in innovative light scattering and field-flow fractionation instruments, software, accessories, and services. With the acquisition of Wyatt, Waters wants to accelerate its ability to build a high-growth business in bioanalytical characterization for new modalities.

A global diet study has revealed that whole-fat dairy foods can be included in a healthy diet as opposed to the popular advice of consuming low-fat dairy foods to lower one’s risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Researchers have revealed that handheld lactic acid testing devices which are designed especially for athletes could be used to save the lives of children severely affected from malaria in Africa.

Stressed university students might want to add walnuts to their daily diet in the weeks leading up to their next exam. A new clinical trial of undergraduate students during their university studies has shown positive effects of walnut consumption on self-reported measures of mental health and biomarkers of general health.

Cipher Neutron and Canada’s University of Alberta have collaborated to carry out advanced research in AEM Electrolyzer Membrane Catalysts which will prove useful for green hydrogen production. The research will be led by Dr. Shiva Mohajernia, Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta.

Pouring flecks of rust into water usually makes it dirtier. But researchers of German FAU University have developed special iron oxide nanoparticles they call “smart rust” that actually makes it cleaner.

An international group of geneticists and archaeologists, led by the Francis Crick Institute, have found that the ancestry of dogs can be traced to at least two populations of ancient wolves. The work moves us a step closer to uncovering the mystery of where dogs underwent domestication.

Researchers have discovered a 1,000 percent difference in the storage capacity of metal-free, water-based battery electrodes. These batteries are different from lithium-ion batteries that contain cobalt. The group's goal of researching metal-free batteries stems from having better control over the domestic supply chain since cobalt and lithium are outsourced. This safer chemistry would also prevent battery fires.

A recent study led by researchers at the University of Vienna delves into the complex role of plastics in modern agriculture. While acknowledging the material's benefits in conserving resources and improving crop yields, the study also highlights the environmental and health risks, such as soil fertility decline and potential toxic contamination of the food chain.
