A Better Way To Compost Using Ceramsite
Chinese scientists have added a porous material known as ceramsite to accelerate the degradation of organic material and increase the retention of nutrients in compost.
Weaving Electronic Fibers Into Fabric
Researchers in China have developed a 3D printer equipped with a coaxial nozzle that threads energy-harvesting fibers onto fabrics.
Biconcave Nanodisks Wreak Havoc On Tumors
An international team of scientists has developed drug-loaded biconcave carbon nanodisks that accumulate preferentially in tumors.
Industrial-Scale Aquaculture Intensifies Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Researchers in China, South Korea and the UK have demonstrated that the rapid increase in aquaculture activities is associated with elevated greenhouse gas emissions.
Gut Microbes Help Turn Up The Heat
A research group in China has demonstrated that gut microbiota contribute to the activation of brown fat which helps to maintain core body temperature under cold exposure.
Lung Microbes Promote Pulmonary Fibrosis In Mice
Chinese researchers have uncovered how lung microbiota produce outer membrane vesicles to trigger a host immune response that causes pathological progression of pulmonary fibrosis.
An Invisibility Cloak Based On Kevlar Fibers
Scientists in China have devised an aerogel that can hide a hot object from infrared detection.
A Tool To Validate The Safety Of Gene Editing Systems
A China-led research collaboration has resulted in a technique to identify single nucleotide variations, insertions and deletions potentially introduced by gene editors like CRISPR-Cas9.
Scientists Decode The Genome Of The Pacific White Shrimp
The Pacific white shrimp's genome spans approximately 1.66 Gb and contains 25,596 protein-coding genes.
