C&EN: Every year, C&EN highlights 10 start-ups developing potentially world-changing chemistry innovations. And while 2020 has felt unlike any other year, the drive of science-based entrepreneurs to bring technologies that benefit people, the environment, and the economy to market hasn’t…
Wired: IN THE INTRO to the HBO sci-fi series Westworld, a 3D printer churns out humanoid robots, delicately assembling the incredible complexities of the human form so that those robots can go on to—spoiler alert—do naughty things. It takes a…
Chemistry World: A pulsating polymer gel has been used to make sheets that can ripple in a similar way to a muscle contracting. The work could aid the development of autonomous soft machines with life-like actuators for locomotion. Self-oscillating Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ)…
E&T Magazine: Researchers from Aalto University have used bacteria to manufacture detailed 3D designs from nanocellulose, with great control over the physical characteristics of the objects. The technique allows the researchers to guide the growth of bacterial colonies, using moulds with…
Physics World: Superconducting materials are traditionally classed into two types: s-wave and d-wave. A third type, p-wave, has long been predicted. Now, however, researchers in the US, Germany and Japan say they may have discovered a fourth, unexpected type of superconductor: g-wave. The result, obtained thanks to high-precision resonant ultrasound…
