Adaptive 3D printing system to pick and place bugs and other organisms

A first-of-its-kind adaptive 3D printing system developed by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers can identify the positions of randomly distributed organisms and safely...

Investigating the interplay of folding and aggregation in supramolecular polymer systems

The material properties of polymers are determined by the competition between polymer chain folding and aggregation. For the first time, researchers from Japan developed...

A new reaction to enhance aromatic ketone use in chemical synthesis

Aromatic ketones have traditionally been underutilized in cross-coupling reactions due to the difficulty in breaking their tough C-C bonds. Researchers have now introduced a...

‘Molecular compass’ points way to reduction of animal testing

In recent years, machine learning models have become increasingly popular for risk assessment of chemical compounds. However, they are often considered 'black boxes' due...

Fossil hotspots in Africa obscure a more complete picture of human evolution
