Scientists at Scripps Research have unveiled a new tissue-clearing method for rendering large biological samples transparent. The method makes it easier than ever for scientists to visualize and study healthy and disease-related biological processes occurring across multiple organ systems.
Described in a paper in Nature Methods on March 28, 2022, and […]
Fire ants survive floods by forming rafts made up of thousands of wriggling insects. A new study by engineers at CU Boulder lays out the simple physics-based rules that govern how these ant rafts morph over time: shrinking, expanding or growing long protrusions like an elephant’s trunk. Fire ants form these […]
Researchers have developed a self-cleaning bioplastic that is sturdy, sustainable and compostable. The innovative plastic developed at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, repels liquids and dirt, almost replicating/taking inspiration from the lotus leaf, then breaks down rapidly once in soil. It is simple to make and could easily be integrated with […]
