Nature documentaries talk about threats to nature but rarely show those threats

Researchers analysing recent BBC and Netflix nature documentaries found that although they increasingly mention threats to nature, visual depictions of these threats remain scarce, potentially misleading audiences on the state of the natural world. The findings are discussed in a Perspective published in the British Ecological Society journal People and Nature Researchers from Bangor University,

Green hydrogen takes a really big step forward

The first thermodynamically-reversible chemical reactor capable of producing hydrogen as a pure product stream represents a “transformational” step forward in the chemical industry. The novel reactor, described today in the prestigious academic journal Nature Chemistry, avoids mixing reactant gases by transferring oxygen between reactant streams via a solid state oxygen reservoir. With our Hydrogen Memory Reactor

For the first time there is a simple way that can effectively transport medication into the brain

For the first timehttps://innovationtoronto.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/213780_webwe4.jpg, scientists have identified a simple way that can effectively transport medication into the brain – which could lead to improved treatments for neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. In a study published today in Nature Communications, scientists from Newcastle University, UK, have led an international team in a major breakthrough in unlocking the secrets

The first self-curving cornea – 4D tissues

Scientists have developed a biological system which lets cells form a desired shape by moulding their surrounding material – initially creating the world’s first self-curving cornea The cornea is the clear outer layer at the front of the eye ball. In the research, a flat circle of gel containing corneal stromal cells (stem cells) was

Scientists have identified how to halt kidney disease in a life-limiting genetic condition

For the first time scientists have identified how to halt kidney disease in a life-limiting genetic condition, which may pave the way for personalised treatment in the future. Experts at Newcastle University, UK, have shown in a cell model and in a mouse model that gene editing could be used for Joubert syndrome to stop

Human corneas 3D printed for the first time

The first human corneas have been 3D printed by scientists at Newcastle University. It means the technique could be used in the future to ensure an unlimited supply of corneas. As the outermost layer of the human eye, the cornea has an important role in focusing vision. Yet there is a significant shortage of corneas available

New low-cost aerogel insulation the size of a family car weighs less than a kilogram

A team of international scientists have created a new form of highly-efficient, low-cost insulation based on the wings of a dragonfly. The material, known as an aerogel, is the most porous material known to man and ultralight, with a piece the size of a family car weighing less than a kilogram. Starting out as a wet

Texture fingerprinting of paper documents could provide a cost-effective way to prevent forgery

Fingerprinting official documents could provide a cost-effective way to prevent forgery, new research shows. Scientists from Newcastle University, UK, have found an inexpensive and easy way to validate the authenticity of ANY paper document just by taking a picture of it on a standard camera. Analysing the translucent patterns revealed when a light shines through

A new prosthetic limb allows the wearer to reach for objects automatically, without thinking – just like a real hand

Hand that sees offers new hope to amputees. Led by biomedical engineers at Newcastle University and funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the bionic hand is fitted with a camera which instantaneously takes a picture of the object in front of it, assesses its shape and size and triggers a series

Smart bricks capable of recycling wastewater and generating electricity will transform how buildings work

Smart bricks capable of recycling wastewater and generating electricity from sunlight are being developed by a team of scientists from the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol). The bricks will be able to fit together and create ‘bioreactor walls’ which could then be incorporated in housing, public building and office spaces The UWE

An enzyme enigma discovered in the abyss could lead to new antibiotics and other treatments

Scientists at the Universities of Bristol and Newcastle have uncovered the secret of the ‘Mona Lisa of chemical reactions’ – in a bacterium that lives at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. It is hoped the discovery could lead to the development of new antibiotics and other medical treatments. The Diels-Alder reaction, discovered by Nobel

Scientists call for a shake-up in the way we record biodiversity

Gaps in our information about biodiversity means we are at risk of focussing our conservation efforts in the wrong places. New research from Newcastle University, UK, University College London (UCL) and the University of Queensland, Australia, highlights the uncertainty around our global biodiversity data because of the way we record species sightings. The study explains
