| New drug-formulation method may lead to smaller pills Posted: 07 Jun 2021 05:22 PM PDT Chemical engineers have devised a simpler process for incorporating hydrophobic drugs into tablets or other drug formulations, using nanoemulsions. With this method, it may be possible to make many pills smaller and easier to swallow. |
| A breakthrough in the physics of blood clotting Posted: 07 Jun 2021 05:22 PM PDT Understanding the physics of clot contraction could potentially lead to new ways to treat bleeding problems and clotting problems. |
| Stabilizing gassy electrolytes could make ultra-low temperature batteries safer Posted: 07 Jun 2021 05:22 PM PDT A new technology could dramatically improve the safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries that operate with gas electrolytes at ultra-low temperatures. By keeping electrolytes from vaporizing, the technology can prevent pressure buildup inside the battery that leads to swelling and explosions. |
| Innovative batteries put flying cars on the horizon Posted: 07 Jun 2021 01:12 PM PDT Jet packs, robot maids and flying cars were all promises for the 21st century. We got mechanized, autonomous vacuum cleaners instead. Now a team of Penn State researchers are exploring the requirements for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles and designing and testing potential battery power sources. |
| Lighting up ultrafast magnetism in a metal oxide Posted: 07 Jun 2021 01:10 PM PDT Understanding how magnetic correlations change over short timescales is the first step in being able to control magnetism for applications. |
| A quantum step to a heat switch with no moving parts Posted: 07 Jun 2021 01:10 PM PDT Researchers have discovered a new electronic property at the frontier between the thermal and quantum sciences in a specially engineered metal alloy -- and in the process identified a promising material for future devices that could turn heat on and off with the application of a magnetic 'switch.' |
| Lead halide perovskites -- a horse of a different color Posted: 07 Jun 2021 01:10 PM PDT Researchers have developed a novel spectroscopic technique for the study of charge carrier dynamics in lead halide perovskites. |
| How coronavirus aerosols travel through our lungs Posted: 07 Jun 2021 08:02 AM PDT When we inhale isolated coronavirus particles, more than 65 percent reach the deepest region of our lungs, new research has discovered, and more of these aerosols reach the right lung than the left. |
| How a Vietnamese raw pork snack could help us keep food fresh, naturally Posted: 07 Jun 2021 05:46 AM PDT Nem Chua is eaten raw but doesn't cause food poisoning when prepared correctly. Food scientists went to explore why - and discovered a powerful new bacteria-killer. A new study reveals the ideal growth conditions to potentially make the bacteriocin at industrial scales. |
| Controlling insulin production with a smartwatch Posted: 07 Jun 2021 05:46 AM PDT Researchers have developed a gene switch that can be operated with the green LED light emitted by commercial smartwatches. This revolutionary approach could be used to treat diabetes in the future. |
