Custom-fabricated lenses make it easy to attach high-tech microscopes directly to cell incubators.

Studying stem cell samples from hundreds of individuals in the same culture dish, using a method developed at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, could have transformative potential for personalised treatments and the study of complex human traits.

Plastic products often turn yellow when kept for a long period of time but have you ever wondered why? Researchers have now identified surface-based chiral nanostructures as the potential culprit for this transformation.

Ticks can be attracted across air gaps several times larger than themselves by the static electricity that their hosts naturally accumulate, researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered.

Researchers at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital have revealed in a new study that xanthine, which is found in coffee, tea and chocolate, may play a role in gut health.

The race to make the widespread use of intermittent renewable energy a reality has taken a step forward with new research by experts from the University of Adelaide who are improving the efficiency of iridium-based catalysts.

Researchers have developed an innovative method that makes it possible to selectively modify ring systems within molecules. By using photocatalysis, a smaller ring could be inserted into a larger, aromatic ring. This achievement has the potential to make drug production more efficient and enable new drug structures.

Amsbio has introduced its new matrix hydrogel – Extragel which is a highly effective growth scaffold for in vivo xenograft generation, pluripotent stem cell maintenance, angiogenesis and advanced 3D culture applications.

For the first time, researchers have developed an atomically thin material that can absorb nearly 100 % of light at room temperature. The material was engineered by making use of the band nesting technique.

Researchers from the University of Houston have reported an oxygen evolving catalyst that takes just minutes to grow at room temperature on commercially available nickel foam. Paired with a previously reported hydrogen evolution reaction catalyst, it can achieve industrially required current density for overall seawater splitting at low voltage.
