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.

The University of Surrey and Unilever are developing the next generation of 3D reconstructed human skin to help test cosmetic products and drugs.

Eleni Stavrinidou and her research group at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics, Linköping University, have used bioelectronics to influence transpiration in a tobacco plant, without harming the plant in any way. This is an important success, since plants do not repair damaged tissue as animals and humans do.

The gut microbiome is an ecosystem of hundreds to thousands of microbial species living within the human body. These populations affect our health, fertility, and even our longevity. But how do they get there in the first place?
