Researchers show that molecularly imprinted polymers can successfully remove the acrid flavor of wildfire smoke from wine, just at the cost of some more desirable aromas.

A new study reveals that nanoplastics, which are tiny plastic particles less than one micrometer in size, may cross the blood-brain barrier

Magnetic nanotech could be used to rewarm organs for transplant, helping to extend the viability of human tissues.

Macquarie University researchers have used vinegar vapour to dramatically improve UV sensors in a cheap, room-temperature process leading to better wearable devices.

An electrochemical process transforms the byproduct of biodiesel production, enhancing economic viability and environmental benefits.

Inspired by double-helical structures in coelacanths, researchers have developed a new concrete design that increases resistance to cracking.

Swansea University and partner institutions have developed a scalable method to produce defect-free graphene foils for lithium-ion batteries. These foils significantly improve battery safety by efficiently managing heat and enhancing performance.

A study reveals the invasive Anopheles stephensi mosquito has spread to Yemen, previously unaffected by this species. Genetic analysis shows the mosquito’s connection to East Africa and highlights its resistance to insecticides.

Researchers have created a catalytic process that efficiently breaks down polyethylene and polypropylene plastics into their monomer building blocks. This advancement could enable a circular economy for plastics.

A study shows that bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa can directly sense chemical concentrations across their cell bodies with high precision. This ability, termed "spatial sensing," could lead to new ways of manipulating bacterial motility.
