A new approach to battery design could provide the key to low-cost, long-term energy storage, according to Imperial College London researchers. The team of engineers and chemists have created a polysulfide-air redox flow battery (PSA RFB)…

The keyboards that are available in the market offer customisations of multiple parts that include -- keycaps, switches and RGBlighting among others. However, the most important choice for users is likely to decide between mechanical and…

Have you ever wondered if bacteria make distinctive sounds? If we could listen to bacteria, we would be able to know whether they are alive or not. When bacteria are killed using an antibiotic, those sounds would stop -- unless of course…

In a new study at University of California, Irvine, researchers have revealed the impact of native lipids on rhodopsin signaling and regeneration, which may usher in a new paradigm for discovery of drugs that target G protein-coupled…

Apple has patented a stand-alone water detector, as per a report by Patently Apple. The tech uses a membraneto detect whether water has seeped into a device and is likely to replace the gas-filled sensors the tech giant uses in its iPhones…

Researchers have developed a new membrane technology that allows for more efficient removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from mixed gases, such as emissions from power plants. "To demonstrate the capability of our new membranes, we looked at…

Carbon capture and storage, a key way of reducing CO2 concentrations in emissions, involves separating out CO2 from a gaseous mixture using a membrane. Thus, scientists have been directing efforts towards improving these membranes. In a new…

The membranes of cancer cells are more pliant than the membranes of normal cells. A research collaboration has discovered that cancer invasion and migration can be supressed in mice by manipulating the stiffness of the cell membrane. The…

In an impressive proof-of-concept demonstration, an interdisciplinary team of scientists has developed a bioelectronic system driven by a machine learning algorithm that can shift the membrane voltage in living cells and maintain it at a…
