Adding pores to a plastic-like polymer derived from wood pulp can make it degrade 15 times faster, a new study finds.

Researchers have revealed an adaptive response with a ferroelectric device, which responds to light pulses in a way that resembles the plasticity of neural networks.

Researchers have pioneered a new method for fabricating advanced ceramic microparticles using a microfluidic chip inspired by ancient East Asian construction techniques.

Researchers have developed a synthetic molecular switch that allows liquid crystals to change color based on ambient light. By manipulating chiral triptycene and hydrazones, the team created helical structures in liquid crystals.

A team at MIT has created a method to 3D print active electronic devices without semiconductors, using a biodegradable polymer doped with copper nanoparticles. This allows for the production of resettable fuses.

A research team has developed an imaging technology using holotomography, allowing for real-time, high-resolution observation of living organoids. This innovative technique eliminates the need for fluorescent staining.

Researchers found that the shape of zinc sulfide nanocrystals influences how well molecules (ligands) adhere to their surfaces. Flatter nanoplatelets allow for tighter ligand attachment, leading to advancements in technologies like LEDs.

Researchers developed CRISPRmap, an optical pooled screening approach that links the optical properties of single cells to targeted genetic perturbations. This technique enables high-throughput studies of gene function in complex tissues.

A study revealed that the majority of immigration to the Japanese Archipelago during the Yayoi and Kofun periods originated from the Korean Peninsula. Rresearchers found the closest genetic links to modern Korean populations.

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study.
