New diagnostic test enables accurate and rapid assessment of the quality of pluripotent stem cell lines

Quick Test for Stem Cells

Proteins: Food or Fuel?
Using proteins as a carbon source for energy production and biorefining could be possible with engineered microbial cells

Ambient CO2 Fixation
The ambient fixation of carbon dioxide can be achieved by converting it to cyclic carbonates with a ZnIIsalphen catalyst

Smallest Magnetic Field Sensor in the World
Computers could be about to get smaller with the first example of spin and molecular electronics in a single molecule

Sweet Tasting Cells
Understanding how taste cells respond to sugar could eventually lead to ways to treat overconsumption and perhaps obesity
