It's always good if the use of antibiotics can be avoided, to keep harmful bacteria from developing a resistance to them. A new wound-treatment spray could help, as it kills bacteria using peptides that occur naturally in our bodies.

The speed record for data transmission using a single light source and optical chip has been shattered. Engineers have transmitted data at a blistering rate of 1.84 petabits per second (Pbit/s), almost twice the global internet traffic per second.

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology are working on a new autonomous search and rescue system made up of a marine vessel that can launch a fleet of fixed-wing drones to scout a predefined area, along with live-feed quadcopters.

Back in 2017 we caught wind of an interesting energy system designed to store solar power in liquid form for years at a time. By hooking it up to an ultra-thin thermoelectric generator, the team has now demonstrated that it can produce electricity.
-
The processing of foods typically generates a lot of wastewater, which has to be cleaned up before being released back into local waterways. According to new research, however, that water could first be put to use as a very effective fertilizer for farmed seaweed.
-
Recent research has uncovered a range of plastic-degrading enzymes, and a new study has revealed this to be part of a broader trend in which such enzymes are increasing in numbers and diversity in direct response to plastic pollution around the world.
-
Although solar-powered devices are now fairly common, Swedish scientists have created something a little different. They've built tiny "metavehicles" that are mechanically propelled and guided via waves of light.
-
Graphene is already shaping the future of battery technology in some interesting ways, and now scientists have deployed a novel form of the wonder material in a sustainable sodium battery to bring about a tenfold increase in capacity.
-
Working to widen the applications for electronic paper technology are scientists at Sweden's University of Technology, whose latest display takes on an inverted design to offer a full array of accurate and brilliant colors.
-
Scientists in Sweden have applied some creative thinking to energy storage and building materials, demonstrating a novel type of cement-based battery that could see large structures constructed from functional concrete.
-
It's no secret that the more we use antibiotics, the greater the chances that bacteria will develop a resistance to them. A new antibacterial wound dressing is designed to get around that problem, by using proteins instead of regular antibiotics.
-
Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology have been exploring alternative energy storage solutions and are now demonstrating a type of "massless" battery that could work as a power source and structural component of a vehicle at the same time.
