The EVERY Company, based in South San Francisco, is a leading VC-backed food tech ingredient company using precision fermentation to create animal proteins without the animal for the global food and beverage industry. Originally founded as Clara Foods in 2014, EVERY™ rebranded in 2021 to better convey its vision to bring […]
Nakata et al. show that mosquitos detect surfaces using the flow fields caused by the movement of their own wings, and proposed to use this in the navigation of human-made drones. Small changes in air flows can be detected with sensors and used […]
The Meiji University researchers developed a device, Norimaki Synthesizer, that can imitate all kinds of flavory sensations as the subject put the device on their tongue. The manipulation of taster perception is achieved by electrolytes inserted into five gels that control the intensity of five basic flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, salt, […]
Hello everyone,
Do you ever wonder what happens to science once it leaves the lab? If you had the opportunity, would you want your voice to be part of the conversation?
Join the Science Policy Groups at UCSF and UC Berkeley for our first ever Science Ethics and Policy […]
Robotic researchers at MIT solved a design problem in building tiny drones by replacing typical hard wings with soft insect-inspired wings that beats at a very high frequency. These changes enabled the centimeter-scale drones that demonstrated unprecedented resilience and agility in flight.

This study investigated the impact-resistant biomechanism of a cat’s paw from macroscopic and microscopic perspectives. The sample of the study included five domestic cats that died of heart disease. After being approved by the Science and Ethics Committee of Beihang University, the cats’ bodies were used for anatomical analysis. There were […]
Whales, which have baleen plates, feed by taking huge mouthfuls of water and food. They then push the water back out using their baleen plates as a strainer, keeping the food in their mouths. Scientists have long wondered how whales are able to accomplish such tasks without choking under the immense […]
The wood skeletons of cholla cacti, subject to spartan desert conditions and hurricane force winds, provide a new template for torsionally resilient biological materials. Selective lignification and macroscopic tubercle pore geometry contribute to density-efficient shear stiffness, while mesoscopic wood fiber straightening, delamination, pore collapse, and fiber pullout provide extrinsic toughening mechanisms. […]
The Bioengineering Honor Society is hosting its 9th annual BioEHSC™, a Bioengineering High School Competition! We’re looking for students like you who are willing to mentor teams. Mentors meet with their team weekly via email or video chat, supporting and guiding the team through the 7-week research/design period. On average, mentors […]
