Microrobots that conquer all terrains
Microrobots dubbed “microwalkers” can both swim and walk, allowing them to transverse challenging biological environments.
Photosynthesis of green methanol from methane
Getting around the high C-H bond dissociation energy in methane has been a challenge to making methanol from natural gas — until now.
Algae-based microrobots fight cancer
Living microrobots made from algae were weaponized to help fight tumors by improving the effectiveness of cancer therapies.
Dengue and Zika make their hosts more attractive to mosquitos
Dengue and Zika take control of a protein responsible for body odor, but a simple treatment helps reverse the process.
Broad-spectrum antivirals made from polymers
Polymer-based broad spectrum antivirals show activity against Zika, Ebola, HIV-1, the Herpes simplex virus, and now, SARS-CoV-2.
How the capybara could improve biofuels
Unique enzymes found in the gut of sugarcane-eating capybaras could help convert agricultural waste into low-carbon biofuels.
Nanobots used for better root canal treatment
Disinfecting nanobots could be the key to preventing the failure of root canal fillings post-treatment.
Copper nanoparticles an effective spermicide
Copper’s ability to hinder the motility of sperm makes it an ideal contraceptive, and researchers have now formulated it into a spermicide.
A robotic pill monitors disease in the gut
A robotic pill capable of collecting biomarkers, including proteins and bacteria, from the gut provides an easy-to-use disease screening tool.
