New molecules help battle antimicrobial resistance

Written by

Professor Jonathan Wade and Dr Wenyi Li focus on alternatives to antibiotics including researching peptides and modifying them in a technique called polymerisation to fight the growing issue of antimicrobial resistance.

The overuse of antibiotics over the years has made them less effective in fighting infectious diseases and has led to the emergence of superbugs that are resistant to many different […]

Machine Learning week 2022 is live in Berlin

Machine Learning Week Europe is live in Berlin! But what even is it? Machine learning is a form of artificial intelligence, where software applications and computers learn how to improve […]

Stem cell therapy brings new life to musculoskeletal regeneration

Written by

Dr Saw and colleagues use peripheral blood stem cells as a regenerative agent for three broad applications: articular cartilage, bone, and soft tissue.

Researchers Dr Khay-Yong Saw, Dr Caroline Jee, Ms Amal Dawam, and Ms Alisha Ramlan from the Kuala Lumpur Sports Medicine Centre, Malaysia, and Dr Adam Anz, Andrews Institute, Florida, USA, […]

Two-photon polymerization for advanced sensor manufacturing

Written by

Sensors built from microscopic optical components could offer numerous benefits, but so far their reach has been limited by shortcomings in 3D manufacturing techniques on non-conventional platforms. In their research, […]

Imaging the dynamical hydration sphere of alkali metal ions

Written by

Professor Hayamizu and colleagues study the dynamic behaviour of alkali metal ions in aqueous solutions.

Alkali metal ions – lithium ion (Li+), sodium ion (Na+), potassium ion (K+), rubidium ion (Rb+), and caesium ion (Cs+) – play crucial roles in a variety of solution processes, […]

How medical schools can evolve to tackle gun violence

Written by

Professor Hargarten studies the psychological and social issues of gun violence.

Despite the shocking levels of gun violence in the USA and in the Americas, medical practitioners are taught little more than dealing with the direct biologic outcomes of bullets. Like […]

Modelling and analysis of flows of viscoelastic fluids: Beyond the Navier–Stokes equations

Written by

Michal Bathory and his mentors’ research explores the solvability of mathematical systems describing complex fluids, paying attention to different boundary conditions

The Navier–Stokes equations are important for science and engineering, since they describe the motion of fluids. For instance, they are used to model blood flow within arteries, an ocean’s currents, […]

Predictive discarding for sustainable Industry 5.0

Written by

The computer chip shortage has prompted Dr Geert van Kollenburg and his colleagues at Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands, to find data-driven methods to optimise chip manufacturing processes. As […]

Waste into starting materials: Solvent-based recycling for the polymer industry

Written by

Internal view of a processing plant in Germany where solvent-based recycling of plastic polymers promises to reduce the plastic waste streams and recycle contaminated plastics back into usable plastic granules.

Polymer manufacturing is an essential business, but it poses a number of challenges from an environmental perspective. Many chemical processes are energy intensive as they require high temperatures or pressure […]
