Dr. E. Poonguzhali, an Indian woman scientist has been granted a patent for her green synthesis method for producing an important compound – Benzo[b]thiophene found in a range of different medicines for osteoporosis and asthma. The technology helps to reduce the risk of explosion, decrease cost of process and obviates toxic steps involved in the current method.

Plastic bottles, punnets, wrap — such lightweight packaging made of PET plastic becomes a problem if it is not recycled. Scientists at Leipzig University have now discovered a highly efficient enzyme that degrades PET in record time.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have developed a more accurate, less invasive technology that allows amputees to move a robotic arm using their brain signals instead of their muscles.

Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology proved that a direct link exists between the amount of fat included in one’s diet and bodily levels of nitric oxide, a naturally occurring signaling molecule that is related to inflammation and cancer development.

Mass Flow Online, specialist in low flow measurement and control, presents new models of their Liqui-View Base series.

Researchers from the Institute of the Advanced Study in Science and Technology, Government of India have produced a sustainable plasma-based disinfectant with the assistance of cold atmospheric pressure plasma which has the potential to deactivate the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

Agilent Technologies expanded its portfolio of instruments for molecular diagnostics with the introduction of the AriaDx Real-Time PCR System.

The new Xevo TQ Absolute tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer from Waters is up to 15x more sensitive for quantifying negatively ionizing compounds than its predecessor.
