Engineers develop new kind of 3D printing

While 3D printing techniques have advanced significantly in the last decade, the technology continues to face a fundamental limitation: objects must be built up layer by layer. But what if…

UCLA-developed technology enables single-cell sorting by function

Advance has implications for drug development and biological research. For nearly 40 years, drugmakers have used genetically engineered cells as tiny drug factories. Such cells can be programmed to secrete…

Marine microbes swim towards their favorite food

A tiny stroke for each microbe, a giant impact on the ocean. Although invisible to us, every teaspoon of seawater contains more than a million marine bacteria. These tiny microbes…

Astronomers discover new type of stellar explosion called micronovae

Astronomers have discovered a new kind of stellar explosion that could be commonplace in the universe and may change our understanding of how eruptions in stars occur. A micronova is…

Whole-brain preclinical study illuminates how epileptic seizures originate

New evidence from a zebrafish model of epilepsy may help resolve a debate into how seizures originate, according to Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators. The findings may also be…

Researchers identify therapeutic target for aggressive blood cancer

Untangling genomic architecture of acute promyelocytic leukaemia reveals gene that can suppress tumour. A new study published today in the journal Genes & Development reveals a gene that normally suppresses…

A ‘language’ for ML models to predict nanopore properties

A large number of 2D materials like graphene can have nanopores – small holes formed by missing atoms through which foreign substances can pass. The properties of these nanopores dictate many…

Material developed with novel stretching properties

KIT researchers produce metamaterial with different extension and compression properties than conventional materials. With this material, the working group headed by Professor Martin Wegener at KIT’s Institute of Applied Physics…

Sensitive ceramics for soft robotics

Most people think of coffee cups, bathroom tiles or flower pots when they hear the word “ceramic”. Not so Frank Clemens. For the research group leader in Empa’s Laboratory for…
