Although the U.S and other countries have banned or restricted the use of bisphenol A (BPA) because of environmental and health concerns, it is still used in thermally printed receipts and labels. Now researchers report that they have developed potentially safer polymers that could replace BPA for printed papers.

A newly devised algorithm called LogicTRN has the potential to unravel the complexities of genetic regulation.

A study using pluripotent stem cells has shown that genome architecture can have significant effects on gene expression.

Appointment will drive new product and applications development.

fMRI study reveals what makes some people more creative than others

Pharmaceuticals and other man-made contaminants are forcing fish that live downstream from a typical sewage treatment plant to work at least 30 per cent harder just to survive, researchers have found.

Testing new clinical drugs' effect on heart tissue could become quicker and more straightforward, thanks to new research from Harvard University.

The study, sets out a new, faster method for manufacturing a 'heart-on-a-chip', which can be used to test the reaction of heart tissue to external stimuli.

Researchers used an unconventional approach, employing Raman spectroscopy with an ultraviolet laser instead of conventional visible light lasers, to improve understanding of nickel oxide crystals. This work could have important implications for development of spintronic devices for memory storage and information processing.

Researchers provide one of the first looks inside the infant’s brain to show where the sense of touch is processed — not just when a baby feels a touch to the hand or foot, but when the baby sees an adult’s hand or foot being touched, as well.

EXD2, a protein previously thought to be localised to the nucleus, has a key role in the production of proteins by mitochondria.
