In a large-scale test, DLR researchers investigated the use of biofuels as well as blends of biofuels and kerosene in a real engine.
Something Tastes Fishy: Granola Bars with Added Nutritional Benefits
Nothing fishy tasting here, reducing oxidation of fish oil extract in fortified granola bars.
Anti-fouling hybrid polymer coatings
Anti-fouling zwitterionic coatings were successfully prepared by a surface Kabachnik-Fields reaction and subsequent deprotection of phosphonate groups.
CO2: Conflict or Harmony?
Professor Ozin asks the question; do we want war or peace with CO2?
Exploiting surface tension for patterned cell co-cultures
A simple method for 3D patterning of cell co-cultures has been developed based on capillary forces in a nanostructured microchannel.
Cellulose nanofiber paper filters out viruses
Nanofiber material, derived from Cladophora algae, removes virus particles with an efficiency matching that of the best industrial virus filters.
EMPA gives nanoparticle paints a cautious all-clear
EU research project NanoHouse ends – suggests nanoparticles in the paint used on building façades do not represent a particular health risk.
3D nanostructures are the future of energy collection
Physicists have developed a “planet-satellite model” to precisely connect and arrange nanoparticles in three-dimensional structures.
