Research from the University of Illinois and the University of California, Davis has chemists one step closer to recreating nature’s most efficient machinery for generating hydrogen gas. Thi... Read more
A new proof-of-concept study details how an automated system driven by artificial intelligence can design, build, test and learn complex biochemical pathways to efficiently produce lycopene,... Read more
New control system may enable humanoid robots to do heavy lifting and other physically demanding tasks. Rescuing victims from a burning building, a chemical spill, or any disaster that is in... Read more
It is safe to say that 3D displays do not necessarily occur in nature – unless one considers the cephalopod, which includes the squid and octopus, as a living 3D display which can morph its... Read more
Research Finds a New Way to Reduce Food Waste Pity the poor blemished banana. In a society that equates beauty with quality, the perception that blemished produce is less desirable than its... Read more
In the future, a delayed flight due to ice will be no cause for a meltdown. A group of researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Kyushu University has developed a way... Read more
Optical fibres are our global nervous system, transporting terabytes of data across the planet in the blink of an eye. As that information travels at the speed of light across the globe, the... Read more
Waterhemp and Palmer amaranth, two aggressive weeds that threaten the food supply in North America, are increasingly hard to kill with commercially available herbicides. A novel approach kno... Read more
An international research collaboration has made an important discovery in the quest to help lower global agricultural methane emissions. The team has identified new processes that control m... Read more
Chemists at the University of Illinois have successfully produced fuels using water, carbon dioxide and visible light through artificial photosynthesis. By converting carbon dioxide into mor... Read more
