Research demonstrates potential for rapid, accurate glycan sequencing. Using a nanopore, researchers have demonstrated the potential to reduce the time required for sequencing a glycosaminoglycan…
Process paves a road to safe, ethical, and fast drug manufacturing. Envisioning an animal-free drug supply, scientists have — for the first time — reprogrammed…
Being able to make blind people see again sounds like the stuff of miracles or even science fiction. And it has always been one of…
Humans are largely omnivores, and meat in various forms has always featured in the diet of most cultures. However, with the increasing population and pressure…
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft, stretchy skin patch that can be worn on the neck to continuously track…
CRISPR gene editing has transformed research, but it is not perfect, and can sometimes target unintended genes. To watch CRISPR enzymes respond to different genes,…
Reconnecting muscle pairs during amputation gives patients more sensory feedback from the limb. MIT researchers have invented a new type of amputation surgery that can…
A University of Missouri engineer received a grant from the National Science Foundation to plan for large-scale manufacturing of an on-skin, wearable bioelectronic device. One…
New research by the University of Oslo provides evidence that the “protocells” that formed around 3.8 billion years ago, before bacteria and single-celled organisms, could…
Scientists develop peptides that could inactivate coronavirus. Fool the novel coronavirus once and it can’t cause infection of cells, new research suggests. Scientists have developed…
Scientists are working toward advances that, using nanotechnology, could lead to a hospital bed or doorknob that naturally destroys viruses. Advances in the fields of…
The use of weed killers can increase the prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in soil, a new study from the University of York shows. Herbicides…
Your morning cereal or oatmeal. The bread on your sandwich. The corn chips for your snack, and the cookies for dessert. Not one would be…
Proof-of-concept project paves the way for the integration of molecules with computer chips. Engineers have developed a technique that allows them to precisely place microscopic…
The United States Department of Agriculture identifies a group of “big eight” foods that causes 90% of food allergies. Among these foods are wheat and…
Technique creates highly customized structures that could be used in regenerative medicine. A team at Aalto University has used bacteria to produce intricately designed three-dimensional…
New method for growing cyanobacteria under Mars-like conditions. NASA, in collaboration with other leading space agencies, aims to send its first human missions to Mars…
3D-bioprinting method enables advanced tissue fabrication by using a yield-stress support bath that holds bioinks in place until they are cured and works with a…
