Researchers develop a new means of killing harmful bacteria
The global rise in antibiotic resistance is a growing threat to public health, damaging the ability to fight deadly infections such as tuberculosis. The efforts to develop new antibiotics are not keeping…
3D-bioprinter prints 3D Objects using Cellulose from Wood
A group of researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have managed to print and dry 3D objects made entirely by cellulose for the first time with the help of a 3D-bioprinter. They…
Physicists stop and store light traveling in an optical fiber
Researchers at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory in Paris have showed that a cloud of cold atoms surrounding an ultrathin fiber can store light propagating along the fiber. The technique makes use of…
MIT’s new defect sealing technique may enable faster, more durable water filters
Engineers at MIT, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) have successfully sealed leaks in graphene in a two-step process. This new defect sealing technique may…
