Star-shaped plankton inspire complex structures
Reconstructed model of an Acantharia skeleton showing the arrangement of spicules intersecting at a central point. Courtesy of Vivian Merk. A common marine planktonic organism, Acantharia, has a delicate star-shaped endoskeleton consisting of 20 arms or ‘spicules’ arranged in a unique geometric pattern. Unusually, these mineralized spicules are built from strontium sulfate. Now researchers from […]
Making perovskites more efficient
New research into the use of perovskites as a cheaper alternative to silicon in solar cells and detectors has demonstrated how to make them even more efficient. To achieve this, scientists at the University of Rochester and the Chinese Academy of Sciences devised a physics-based approach to synthesizing perovskites using a substrate of either a layer […]

United Airlines, Archer plan first electric air taxi route in Chicago
Intend to fly eVTOL aircraft from ORD to the Loop in 10 minutes, beginning in 2025.
Bacteria-loaded ink prints bone-like 3D biocomposites
The method could be used to restore damaged artworks © Eva Baur. When organic-inorganic composites are constructed in nature, two plus two can add up to more than four where the mechanical properties of the composite exceed those of the component parts. The secret to nature’s success lies in the ability to control the structure […]
Reducing the energy consumption of building homes
Mirian Velay-Lizancos, a Purdue assistant professor of civil engineering, has developed a process that improves upon the traditional method to incorporate phase change materials into construction materials. Credit: Purdue University photo/John Underwood Researchers in the lab of Mirian Velay-Lizancos at Purdue University have developed a scalable and automatable process that enhances the introduction of phase change materials (PCMs) into […]

Bertrandt launches new brand identity
Focus on technological progress and sustainable future Ehningen, 22 March 2023 Modern, innovative, and bold: with its new brand identity, Bertrandt is positioning itself for the future. Influenced by its founding history, self-image, and business idea, but above all by its employees, the brand identity has been defined in an integrative process across the entire […]
Plastic proteins behave just like the real thing
Biological fluids are made up of hundreds or thousands of different proteins (represented by the space filling models above) that evolved to work together efficiently but flexibly. Polymer scientists at UC Berkeley are trying to create artificial fluids composed of random heteropolymers (threads inside spheres) with much less complexity, but which mimic many of the […]
