'Digital Dog Nose' can identify explosives, drugs and more
The sensor can detect threats at the molecular level — whether it's explosive materials, particles from a potentially deadly virus or illegal drugs. [ + ]
GMP warehouse mapping: step-by-step guidelines for validating life science storage facilities
Good manufacturing practice (GMP) regulators have sharpened their focus on warehouse storage and distribution practices. [ + ]
Concentrating and preserving biological samples with freeze drying
It is important to identify the most appropriate sample reduction method for your application to ensure sample integrity. [ + ]
Hydrogel treats wounds, protects against bacteria
A specially designed hydrogel prevents infections in wounds and works against all types of bacteria — including antibiotic-resistant ones. [ + ]
Understanding measurement uncertainty
For any important measurement, it is essential to identify every source of uncertainty and to quantify the uncertainty introduced by each source. [ + ]
Micrometre molecular modelling with real chemical reactions
Scientists have found a way to build micrometre-size model molecules using 'patchy particles', allowing for a much more direct study of molecular dynamics. [ + ]
Proteins found to predict future dementia risk
The development of dementia late in life is associated with abnormal blood levels of dozens of proteins up to five years earlier, according to a new study. [ + ]
One step closer to a 100% digital laboratory
When Bumrungrad International Hospital first went live with the InterSystems TrakCare electronic medical record system, its clinical laboratory took a huge leap forward. [ + ]
2D electrolytes: a new type of intelligent material
Researchers created an intelligent material that has the structure of a 2D material but behaves like an electrolyte — and it could be a new way to deliver drugs within the body. [ + ]
Ultrafast 3D printing of lifelike organ models
The technique is capable of printing organ models 10 to 50 times faster than the industry standard — in minutes instead of hours. [ + ]
New genetic cause of hearing loss discovered
US researchers have discovered that a gene called GAS2 plays a key role in normal hearing — and that its absence causes severe hearing loss. [ + ]
Budget 2021–2022: science helps secure Australia's recovery
The Australian Government has announced more than $475 million in its 2021–22 Budget to drive industry growth and scientific development. [ + ]
Ultrasonic imaging probe for nanoscale disease diagnostics
The ultrasonic imaging system can be deployed on the tip of a hair-thin optical fibre, which will be insertable into the human body to visualise cell abnormalities in 3D. [ + ]
Electrically activated glue used to seal broken blood vessels
A new device offers a way to seal tears and holes in blood vessels, using an electrically activated glue patch applied via a minimally invasive balloon catheter. [ + ]
Cartilage-mimicking material inspired by nature
Engineers have developed a material that mimics human cartilage — and it could herald the development of a new generation of lightweight bearings. [ + ]
