A novel approach to make environmentally safe sunscreen

Sunscreens are products combining several ingredients that help prevent the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the skin. Two types of ultraviolet radiation, UVA,...

Worms in high-tech housing replace laboratory mice

The idea of using worms instead of mice in a wide array of pharmaceutical and toxicological tests is nothing new. But the tedious task of...

Calcium-based MRI sensor enables more sensitive brain imaging

MIT neuroscientists have built up another magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor that enables them to screen neural movement profound inside the mind by following...

Scientists developed new materials for batteries

Scientists from ETH Zurich and Empa have developed promising new conductor materials that could bring about key advances in the development of aluminum batteries. First...

New technique to simplify the placement of electrodes in the brains

A team of Rice University computational and applied mathematics (CAAM) has devised a technique called BrainGuide, to simplify the placement of electrodes in the...

Improving mid-infrared imaging and sensing

The mid-infrared (mid-IR) band of electromagnetic radiation is an especially helpful piece of the range; it can give imaging dark, follow heat signatures, and...

New way found to make plastic semiconductors

Scientists at Waterloo have developed a way to make plastic semiconductors plastics that conduct electricity like metals. Through this demonstration, scientists could produce cheap, flexible,...
