Outokumpu material experts, in collaboration with scientists from Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, in Germany, are working towards developing future-oriented stainless steel solutions. The recent invention is a new battery pack designed specifically for electric vehicles.
A team of biochemists from UCLA have created a method to convert sugar into a range of useful chemical compounds, without the use of cells. These chemical compounds could potentially be applied in the manufacture of new pharmaceuticals and biofuels.
A new 3-D modeling and data-extraction technique is about to transform the field of X-ray crystallography, with potential benefits for both the pharmaceutical industry and structural biology.
Infections with bacterium Clostridium difficile have rapidly become a significant medical problem in hospitals and long-term care facilities. The bacteria cause diarrhea and life-threatening inflammation of the colon by producing toxins that kill the endothelial cells that form the lining of the gut.
An innovative method to 3D print brain structures has been developed by a group of US and Australian researchers. This capability will allow them to develop nerve cells to imitate a real brain.
Arthritis and sport-related injuries are a common occurrence in the elderly, athletes and others who experience severe pain as a result of damaged cartilage tissues. Scientists have now demonstrated how to use 3-D bioprinting to create cartilage tissues that could resolve this issue.
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have developed a new implantable material, which has the potential to reduce complications for women suffering from urinary incontinence. Extremely rigid materials, which are used to treat urinary incontinence, can cause adverse side-effects.
Using the idea of colorful "grow capsules" in water that blossom into animal-shaped sponges, scientists have created biodegradable polymer grafts. These grafts, when surgically implanted in damaged vertebrae, can grow to the required shape and size in order to fix the spinal column.
Driven by large and widespread feedstocks and government incentives, Southeast Asia is positioned to be a hub for bio-based materials and chemicals (BBMC), according to Lux Research.
Scientists have successfully developed a thin, water-soluble, nonpermanent adhesive gel that can be utilized in the field of biomedical applications. Developed from a naturally occurring chemical reaction, this water-soluble adhesive could be useful for drug delivery or tissue repair. The researchers from LSU and the University of Sheffield collaborated for this study, which has been reported in the scientific journal, Angewandte Chemie.
