Scientists at Sweden's Linköping University have developed a new tool to tackle risky remnants of malignant brain tumors, demonstrating how an ion pump can take highly effective chemotherapy drugs directly to the source of the problem.
-
As a storage solution for renewable energy, scientists see great potential in what are known as redox flow batteries. A new design from Linköping University is a decidedly green version of this, being the first made from all-natural materials.

Chickens have never had a reputation as intellectual heavyweights and scientists may have found the reason why. Experimental breeding suggests the domestication of the chicken 10,00 years ago caused the bird's brain to shrink and made them less fearful.

Bacteria are a looming threat to public health, as they continue to develop resistance to antibiotics. Now a new study has identified a peptide that can make existing antibiotics more effective at a much lower dose.

By converting liquid salt water – or tainted water – into steam, it's possible to obtain pure, clean drinking water. Doing so could soon be cheaper and easier than ever, thanks to a newly developed material.
-
It would be handy if there was a filtration medium that could be electronically "switched" to capture particles of different sizes. It turns out that there soon may be, thanks to a newly-developed conductive polymer that changes state, on demand.
-
Researchers have developed an organic solar cell that's optimized for use with indoor light.
-
ScienceScientists at Linköping University have developed an artificial muscle that runs off of glucose and oxygen like its organic counterpart. Made of a special polymer, the new plastic muscles open the promise of implantable artificial muscles that can be powered by like living organs.
-
Located on the back of the eye, the retina is a layer of nerve cells that convert incoming light to electrical signals – allowing us to see. Now, scientists have developed a rudimentary artificial retina, that could conceivably one day restore sight to the blind.
-
ScienceThere are many people who could use a bit of help moving their limbs, but they don't necessarily need a full-on exoskeleton. Well, imagine if their clothes could provide that help. Such a thing may one day be possible, thanks to the recent creation of "textile muscles."
-
Lightweight, foldable, and strong sheets of "power paper" have been created by scientists that can store significant amounts of electric charge and may one day provide ultra-thin electricity storage for modern devices.
-
Although methane is one of the most potent of the greenhouses gases, scientists still aren't entirely clear on all of its ground-based sources. That's why researchers from Sweden's Linköping and Stockholm universities have created a camera that's capable of imaging methane in real time.
