It may seem like teens are always over-sharing without a thought. But in a world where opting out of online culture is hardly an option, many take a far more sophisticated view of privacy than adults give them credit for. Taylor is not one to share, and if she had her druthers, she wouldn’t tell

“Our biochemiresistor was able to detect enrofloxacin in neat milk in 40 minutes” A whole new class of biosensor that can detect exceptionally small traces of contaminants in liquids in just 40 minutes has been developed by a UNSW-led team of researchers. Known as a biochemiresistor, it meets a long-standing challenge to create a sensor

Simpler process and higher efficiency creates great expectations for consumer market Waseda University researchers have developed a new method for producing hydrogen, which is fast, irreversible, and takes place at much lower temperature using less energy. This innovation is expected to contribute to the spread of fuel cell systems for automobiles and homes. Hydrogen has

The technology for glass forming and shaping requires heat treatment at high temperatures of about 1000 degrees Celsius. So it has long been a mystery how it is that certain marine organisms are able to form glass architectures (called spicules) in cold water. Now, a paper published recently in Science Advancesby Professor Emil Zolotoyabko, of the

Phase-changing material could allow even low-cost robots to switch between hard and soft states. In the movie “Terminator 2,” the shape-shifting T-1000 robot morphs into a liquid state to squeeze through tight spaces or to repair itself when harmed. Now a phase-changing material built from wax and foam, and capable of switching between hard and

Patients with diseases such as diabetes suffer from painful wounds that take a long time to heal making them more susceptible to infections that could even lead to amputations. A*A*STAR’s discovery paves the way for therapeutics to improve healing of such chronic wounds, which are a significant burden to patients. 1. Scientists from A*STAR’s Institute
