BYLINE: Rachel Berkowitz Newswise — Composite adhesives like epoxy resins are excellent tools for joining and filling materials including wood, metal, and concrete. But there’s one problem: once a composite sets, it’s there forever. Now there’s a better way. Researchers have developed a simple polymer that serves as a strong and stable filler that can…
Newswise — Charlottesville, VA—The Focused Ultrasound Foundation has designated Columbia University as a Focused Ultrasound Center of Excellence, recognizing its leadership in research and innovation. Columbia University is the 7th Center of Excellence in the US and the 14th worldwide. Established in 2009, the Foundation’s Center of Excellence Program recognizes luminary sites for their merit…
Newswise — Citrus plants, traditionally cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates, are highly vulnerable to cold stress, which can drastically affect both yield and fruit quality. With climate change triggering more frequent and intense cold spells, the demand for citrus varieties that can withstand these conditions has never been more pressing. Although previous studies have…
BYLINE: Anna Ettlin Newswise — No new cars with combustion engines are to be sold in Europe after 2035. To achieve this ambitious goal, one thing is needed above all: better batteries so that electric cars can charge faster, travel longer distances and have a smaller ecological footprint. A large number of major research projects…
BYLINE: Amber Rose Newswise — Argonne researchers use Polybot, an AI-driven automated material laboratory, to produce high-conductivity, low-defect electronic polymer thin films. Plastic that conducts electricity might sound impossible. But there is a special class of materials known as “electronic polymers” that combines the flexibility of plastic with the functionality of metal. This type of material…
Newswise — If you build it, opportunity will come. In an effort to introduce computer science and engineering concepts to more students, Educational Talent Search, a TRIO program through the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, is building VEX Robotics into after-school programming at three Lincoln high schools. Students at Lincoln, North Star and Northeast high schools are…
Newswise — Korean researchers will begin collaborating in earnest with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) on semiconductor technology research. Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced on Jan. 6 (local time) that it has agreed to establish a mutual cooperation system to develop semiconductor technologies with Argonne National Laboratory in…
Newswise — The extraction of interstitial fluid (ISF) for diagnostic purposes has long been a challenging process. Traditional methods, such as suction blister and sonophoresis, are not only time-consuming but also often result in significant disruption to the skin’s outermost layer, the stratum corneum, causing local trauma. Microneedles (MNs) have emerged as a promising alternative,…
“It’s a tremendous accomplishment,” said Rich Otten, a Sandia senior manager involved in the design and production aspects of the B61-12 Life Extension Program. “For more than a decade, people have poured their time, effort and careers into making this a reality.” The completion of the last production unit is the result of collaborative partnerships…
BYLINE: Beth Miller Newswise — In addition to making gadgets and game pieces, 3D printing is being used in health care to print prosthetics, dental implants and surgical models. Now, a team at Washington University in St. Louis is using 3D printing to create bioelectronic scaffolds that would allow researchers to create new tissue with…
