Posted on by Halimat Chisom Atanda
Researchers used computer software to identify compounds in nutgrass that neutralize gastric ulcer bacteria. These…
What will they think of next?
Scientists added soft molecules to a light-emitting polymer used in phone displays, so it could stretch to twice its original size while still emitting light.

Researchers analyzed the use of wearable AI in detecting and predicting depression. They suggested several ways to improve the technology for optimum performance.

Researchers developed a tool to visualize changes in DNA data from new sequencing technology. Their tool will help scientists "see" how changes in DNA contribute to disease.
Scientists installed a special generator onto an existing solar cell so it can use temperature changes to generate power from radiative cooling at night.
Researchers used virus proteins to deliver the CRISPR system into cells for faster and safer gene editing.
Scientists designed a unique hybrid material that stores sodium, which could improve performance and reliability of sodium-ion batteries for use in cell phones and other electronics.

Scientists developed a new biomedical device that adheres to muscle tissue and delivers contractions, promoting tissue regeneration.
Scientists developed a new model to improve the gripping performance of electroadhesive clutches in robots. Their upgraded cyber-hand was nearly 30 times stronger!

Scientists discovered superconductivity in structures of four and five layers of graphene where alternating layers are twisted to a “magic angle”.
In automobiles, aircrafts, and other large machineries, it is extremely useful to have a way to detect the amount of force certain components in these machines are experiencing. If we can monitor force in real time, we can prevent a…
Scientists devised a new method for converting energy from evaporation into electricity, using sustainable microbial biofilms. This device was able to power simple wearable electronics from human sweat.
Scientists recently tested new solids for cheaper and safer capture of carbon dioxide from internal combustion engines. This technology could help decrease greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.

A lithium ion battery with solid electrolyte is much safer than lithium ion batteries on the market today.

Scientists develop simple procedure to strain silicon, reaching record strain levels, that will have huge impact in optoelectronic devices such as LED lights, solar panels, and smoke detectors.

The materials used to build aircrafts need to be very strong, able to withstand high temperatures, and lightweight. Carbon fiber composites have attracted a lot of interest because they are durable at high temperature and their low density…

Why does this help plants? Plants can capture energy from many colors of light, but they cannot use energy from ultraviolet radiation. By turning ultraviolet radiation into red or orange light, these scientists are making “unusable”…

Engineered living materials are composed of both synthetic materials and living cells. They are made in a lab to do things, like respond to their environment, which goes beyond typical materials like inert plastics used to make so many of…

Scientists have found the addition of conductive nanomaterials like copper and ceramics in a piezoelectric polymer material greatly increases power generation.

The cells in our bones play a crucial role in maintaining our bone health. Diseases such as osteoporosis can damage the health of our bones. Osteoporosis is caused by the loss of bone material. Aging increases the risk of developing…

Scientists started out wanting to study how Vitamin A affects our gut flora. They ended up coming up with a new way to count bacteria by encasing them in tiny droplets and tagging each one with DNA “barcodes”, detecting more detail than…
