ETH researchers are making chocolates shimmer in rainbow colours without the addition of colourants. They have found a way to imprint a special structure on the surface of the chocolate to create a targeted colour effect.

Operating rooms are the climate change contributor no one’s talking about. That is why two surgeons-in-training suggest some sustainable solutions for their energy-intensive discipline.

A team of physicists and chemists at the University of Surrey in England have shared that errors can occur while replicating DNA owing to the strange rules of the quantum world, thus leading to mutations.

Researchers at the Binghamton University in the USA have revealed that spiders can hide themselves underwater for half an hour to escape from harm. The species uses a film of air over its entire body to seek refuge underwater.

One of the causes of breast cancer may be inflammation triggered by harmful bacteria say researchers. They say that there was a simple, inexpensive potential preventive remedy; which is for women to consume natural yoghurt on a daily basis.

Carbon dioxide emissions are harmful for the environment as well as for animals such as polar bears whose habitats i.e. sea ice is being melted away by the release of this dangerous gas. A dedicated group of polar bear researchers have calculated and revealed how much summer sea ice is melted per metric tonne of CO2 emissions discharged into the atmosphere.

Subjects, such as resource optimization or better energy usage, have arrived in the laboratory. What does this mean for the most important separation method, chromatography? An inventory shows the amount of optimization potential in the technology that is more than 100 years old.

The Knife Mill Pulverisette 11 provides a homogeneous sample in a very short time due to its special design, as the manufacturer Fritsch says.

MIT engineers have designed a light-sensitive hydrogel which can be incorporated in medical devices and then be broken down inside the body when exposed to light. This material has the potential to eliminate endoscopic surgeries required to remove gastrointestinal devices.

A survey of the shark skin microbiome provides the first step toward understanding the remarkable resilience of shark wounds to infection.
