A new study introduces an innovative and cost-effective technique for the plasma functionalization of POSS micro-powders without damaging the nanocage structure they are based on.
Cyclic-di-GMP Regulation of Virulence in Bacterial Pathogens
Cyclic-di-GMP regulation of bacterial virulence is specific to each pathogen, strain, and type of infection. Differences in the composition and structure of extracellular matrix components could underlie the variation in immune response in the mammalian host.
Many Silver Linings: A New Affordable and Sustainable Way to Produce Silver Nanoparticles
Researchers created a one-step flow-through plasma-reaction system for a cheaper and more sustainable synthesis of silver nanoparticles aimed at large scale production.
RNA Uridylation: A Key Post-Transcriptional Modification Shaping the Coding and Non-Coding Transcriptome
Uridylation is a widespread post-transcriptional modification impacting the fate of coding and non-coding RNAs in eukaryotes.
Amide and Amine-Free Concentrate
Clariant announced a new anti-static masterbatch concentrate for polyethylene films used in pharmaceutical production according to new regulations.
Hydrogen Storage in Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers
The intermittent nature of renewable wind and solar energy arising from fluctuations in weather conditions requires the development of efficient and cost-effective large-scale energy-storage systems to create a steady supply of electrical energy for most applications.
Energy Biomass Competitiveness – Three Different Views on Biomass Price
A systemic approach to evaluation of biomass potential has been missing in the academic debate, and needs to be addressed.
Cancer Reports – New Broad Scope Journal for Cancer Research
A new broad scope journal dedicated to publishing data-driven, scientifically rigorous findings at every stage of basic, translational, clinical and interdisciplinary research in cancer development, progression, treatment, care and outcome.
Carbon Dioxide to Stay in the Ground
University of Stuttgart partners with Montana State University to conduct research on the long term underground storage of carbon dioxide.
Metabolism in Cancer Metastasis: Bioenergetics, Biosynthesis and Beyond
