Currently, a team of metallurgists has been working toward making a pile of metals harder than expected. They are also trying to add in some flexibility, bending, twisting, and hammering or crushing between roller properties to the chunk of metal as well. The researchers are basically trying to achieve by breaking the metal structurein order to scrutinize the tiny crystals that form the entire metal piece. It is thus the small grains that help make the metal harder. The Brown University scient
Meat is one of the food products that majority of the people on Earth love to relish. Recently, a team of researchers from McMaster has created a new form of cultivated meat using a completely new method. Using the latest technique the researchers could add more natural texture and flavor to the meat other than the alternative methods used currently to manufacture meat. The researchers Alireza Shahin-Shamsabadi and Ravi Selvaganapathydecided to make meat by mounding thin sheets of in-vitro cul
The University of Cambridge, the University of Milan, and Google Research engineers have used machine learning tools to predict the role of proteins, especiallythe onesconcernedwith neurological diseases, in changing their shapes within microseconds. The proteins named amyloid beta that exist in the Alzheimers disease are found to avoid sticking together or forming any toxic clusters by bringing about an extreme alterations in their shape. With the help of the current study published in the jo
Researchers from Curtin University have discovered a new way of developing silicon. This material is commonly used in electronics such as cameras,phones, and computers. Traditionally, silicon are made at room temperature but the latest method used high temperature (heat) generated using electrical currents to trigger the necessary chemical reaction that can turn silica into silicon without any extra cost and zero impact on the environment. According to lead researcher Song Zhang from Curtins S
Researcher have recently stacked sheets of 2D nanomaterials like grapheneon top of each other and the gaps formed between these sheets are found to wide range application. The latest study published in the journal Nature Communications has a team from Brown University that has found ways to use the gaps termed as nanochannels for filtering water or other liquids with nanoscale contaminants. Lately, an entire new study has been launched against the spaces in between 2D nanomaterials. The resear
According to Professor MATSUYAMA Hideto at Kobe University, their team has created anovelseawater desalination membrane. The researchers developed the membrane by laminating 2D carbon material on a porous polymer membrane surface. The urgent need for desalinated membranes is to start using seawater as well. This newly developed membrane has the potential to produce fresh water from seawater. The new study is projected to solve global freshwater water insufficiency. The current goal is to creat
Researchers are on the run find a perfect treatment for severe red blood congenital diseases such as sickle cell anemia or Thalassemia. Recently, a team from theUniversity of Illinois Chicago has found the modification of the DNA of blood cells from the patients to help develop an improved sickle cell disease treatment.According to Dr. Damiano Rondelli, the latest study shows the role of CRISPR and CRISPR-associated genes (Cas) technology CRISPR-Cas9 technique in editing the genes in the blood
Researchers at Duke and Mt. Sinai have found a molecular pathway that helps stop a viral infection during the pregnancy from affected the baby inside the womb. It has been observed that when an individual is infected the immune system naturally releases chemical signals termed type I interferon which informs the adjacent cells about increasing their anti-viral defenses such as developing inflammation. The immune response helps avoid the virus from multiplying and thereby, gives the immune syst
The latest study shows the effect of a hematopoietic stem cell transplantationalong withintense immunosuppression to helpprevent the disability associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) as it is found to not only worsen with time but also relapses 10 Years after the treatment. But, there are many who show an improvement in their disability over 10 years after the treatment. The transplantation is found to lower the chances of secondary progressive form of MS. Currently, there are many people wit
Gold nanoparticles generally tend to clump thereby avoiding its use as an anti-cancer therapy. Thus, the researchers from Hokkaido University have found a technique to prevent gold nanoparticles from clumping. The researchers found the attaching of ring-shaped synthetic compounds to the gold nanoparticles to assist it from preserving the essential light-absorbing properties. The study published in the journal Nature Communications I explains the importance of the unique light-absorbing propert
