A biodegradable adhesive made of entirely naturally derived chemical components that break down after use

Most adhesives today are made of plastic, but BU chemists hope a new biodegradable alternative will provide a more environmentally friendly option Plastics of the future should, ideally for the health of the planet and our own bodies, be composed of biodegradable and safe materials. One particularly important job that plastics perform every day is to make things

New morphing materials could lead to self-deploying tents or adaptive robotic fins

Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have designed 3-D printed mesh-like structures that morph from flat layers into predetermined shapes, in response to changes in ambient temperature. The new structures can transform into configurations that are more complex than what other shape-shifting materials and structures can achieve. As a demonstration, the researchers printed a flat mesh

A new metamaterial that can improve MRI quality and cut scan time in half

BU researchers have developed a new metamaterial that can improve MRI quality and cut scan time in half Could a small ringlike structure made of plastic and copper amplify the already powerful imaging capabilities of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine? Xin Zhang, Stephan Anderson, and their team at the Boston University Photonics Center can

What if scientists could manipulate your brain so that a traumatic memory lost its emotional power over your psyche?

Proof It’s Possible to Enhance or Suppress Memories Steve Ramirez (CAS’10), a Boston University neuroscientist fascinated by memory, believes that a small structure in the brain could hold the keys to future therapeutic techniques for treating depression, anxiety, and PTSD, someday allowing clinicians to enhance positive memories or suppress negative ones. Inside our brains, a cashew-shaped

Synthetic biologists have added high-precision analog-to-digital signal processing to the genetic circuitry of living cells

Synthetic biologists add tunable, analog-to-digital converter to their toolkit Synthetic biologists have added high-precision analog-to-digital signal processing to the genetic circuitry of living cells. The research, described online today in the journal Science, dramatically expands the chemical, physical and environmental cues engineers can use to prompt programmed responses from engineered organisms. Using a biochemical process called cooperative

Electrostimulation can restore a 70-year-old’s working memory to that of a 20-year-old

BU brain scientist shows electrostimulation can restore a 70-year-old’s working memory to that of a 20-year-old As you read the words stretched across this page, your brain is doing something magnificent. Each sentence lingers in your mind for a fleeting moment, the letters melding into a symphony of neural signals. These intricate electrical rhythms form

We can now mathematically design an object that can block the sounds of anything

Mechanical engineers have developed an “acoustic metamaterial” that can cancel 94 percent of sound What sounds would you mute if you could? A pair of Boston University mechanical engineers are asking that question, with the ever-increasing din of drone propellers, airplane turbines, MRI machines, and urban noise pollution blaring in the mind’s ear. “Today’s sound
