Xolography is a novel light printing technique that has been explored for dental products and in-space manufacturing. At Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), this technique has now been adapted to 3D print living cells. ...
Novel protein cage systems can control and visualize orientational changes in aromatic side chains upon ligand binding, as reported by researchers at the Institute of Science, Tokyo. By inducing coordinated molecular changes, ...
The circular economy offers a fresh approach to how we produce and consume, focusing on reducing, reusing, recycling and recovering. It moves us away from the traditional "make, use, discard" model, creating a more sustainable ...
Apical periodontitis, a chronic and hard-to-treat dental infection, affects more than half of the population worldwide and is the leading cause of tooth loss. Root canal is the standard treatment, but existing approaches ...
Central Macedonia, a region on the northern mainland of Greece, is an important producer of food. It generates a quarter of the country's agricultural output and is the source of much of Greece's table olives, peaches, wine ...
In molecular shuttles, a ring molecule is threaded onto a linear molecular strand and can move between two portions of the strand, called stations, in response to external stimuli. Chemical stimuli, light or mechanical forces ...
In a new study, scientists at Umeå University have found a way to break open the protective walls of pollen grains—one of the hardest biomaterials in the world—without damaging the inside cell and its components.
Within the animal kingdom, mussels are masters of underwater adhesion. The marine mollusks cluster atop rocks and along the bottoms of ships, and hold fast against the ocean's waves thanks to a gluey plaque they secrete through ...
Carbon fiber is a critical material for industries such as aerospace and automotive, prized for its strength and lightweight properties. However, traditional carbon fiber production relies on costly, petroleum-based materials, ...
Covalent bonding is a widely understood phenomenon that joins the atoms of a molecule by a shared electron pair. But in nature, patterns of molecules can also be connected through weaker, more dynamic forces that give rise ...
