Trinity College Dublin now has Ireland’s first and only BioBrillouin microscope, which will enable researchers to make giant strides in the fields of inflammation, cancer, developmental biology and biomedical materials, among others.This post was originally […]

Researchers from more than 50 international institutions have launched Open Problems, a collaborative open-source platform to benchmark, improve, and run competitions for computational methods in single-cell genomics.This post was originally published on this site

The intricate, hidden processes that sustain coral life are being revealed through a new microscope developed by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography.This post was originally published on this site

Food scientists are paving the way for 3D-printed food and pharmaceuticals based on drought-tolerant grain sorghum protein that won’t turn into a blob.This post was originally published on this site

Researchers examine how the use of animal testing to identify endocrine-disrupting substances in the EU can be reduced. Although it is, in principle, possible to identify such substances without using animals, non-animal methods are still […]

Australian farms are at the forefront of a wave of technological change coming to agriculture. Over the past decade, more than US$200 billion (A$305 billion) has been invested globally into the likes of pollination robots, […]

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein manufacture has long been hidden […]

Tiny sensors, similar to breathalyzers, could “sniff out” bacterial infections and detect antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in bodily fluids, says a team of engineers, microbiologists, and machine learning experts in an opinion paper published in Cell Biomaterials. […]

Experts from the University of Nottingham have created life-size 3D-printed insect models to explore how some species trick predators into thinking they’re more dangerous than they really are—and avoid being eaten as a result.This post […]

By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved the performance of two important industrial enzymes—and created a user-friendly, fast process to improve many […]
