Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a silk-based, ultrathin membrane that can be used in organ-on-a-chip models to better mimic the natural environment of cells and tissues within the body. When used in a kidney organ-on-a-chip platform, the membrane helped tissues grow to recreate the functionality of both healthy and diseased kidneys. Biomedical engineers at…

The early worm gets the arachnid, fossil research by an Oregon State University scientist has shown. In a parasitic first, a Baltic amber specimen has revealed that millions of years ago, tiny worms known as nematodes were living inside of and feeding on the outer protective layer of pseudoscorpions. The early worm gets the arachnid, fossil…
By testing core samples, an international team of geoscientists and geologists has found evidence that much of what is now West Antarctica was a river delta or estuary 34 to 44 million years ago. Their findings are published in the journal Science Advances. By testing core samples, an international team of geoscientists and geologists has found…
A highly sensitive diamond quantum magnetometer utilizing nitrogen-vacancy centers can achieve millimeter-scale resolution magnetoencephalography (MEG), as reported by scientists from Tokyo Tech. The novel magnetometer, based on continuous-wave optically detected magnetic resonance, marks a significant step towards realizing ambient condition MEG and other practical applications. A highly sensitive diamond quantum magnetometer utilizing nitrogen-vacancy centers can achieve…
Advanced technologies enable the controlled release of medicine to specific cells in the body. Scientists argue these same technologies must be applied to agriculture if growers are to meet increasing global food demands.

Researchers from the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) and the National University of Singapore have identified a gene locus responsible for sex determination in the European green toad. This reveals only the second known genetic mechanism for sex differentiation in amphibians. The study has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Researchers…
