Broad and MIT describe repeatable live-cell transcriptome method
Researchers at the Broad Institute and MIT described a live-cell transcriptomic method that lets engineered mammalian cells package cellular RNA into virus-like particles released into surrounding culture medium. Sampling and sequ...
MIT demonstrates wafer-scale flexible transparent photonic chips
MIT researchers and engineers at NY Creates developed a fabrication process for flexible, transparent silicon-photonics chips on 300-millimeter wafers. The process uses standard semiconductor manufacturing methods, removes the or...
Leeds researchers report AI screen for plant-based emulsifier proteins
Researchers at the University of Leeds reported an AI and statistical-physics pipeline that identified nearly 800 plant proteins that could act as emulsifiers. The team screened candidates by modeling protein segments that attach ...
Realta and Wisconsin utility explore 200MW grid-connected fusion plant
Realta Fusion announced an agreement with Madison Gas and Electric to explore construction of a 200-megawatt grid-connected fusion power plant in Wisconsin in the mid-2030s. The utility also made an undisclosed equity investment, ...
Hong Kong researchers report steel alloy for high-potential hydrogen electrolysis
University of Hong Kong researchers reported an experimental stainless-steel alloy designed to withstand the corrosive, high-voltage conditions of water electrolysis. In tests using a 3.5% sodium-chloride solution, the alloy remai...
