"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen," as the old saying goes. But for organisms that can't leave the proverbial kitchen when things get too hot, there's another way: researchers from Japan have discovered that plants can gain heat tolerance to better adapt to future heat stress, thanks to a particular mechanism for heat stress 'memory'.
Researchers from King Abdullah University of Science & Technology (KAUST) have found that the performance of an organic photovoltaic cell can be considerably enhanced with an electrode coating measuring just a single molecule thickness.
New 3D Printing Process Helps Create Customized Medical Devices Written by AZoMJun 11 2021 Researchers from the University of Nottingham have used a new 3D printing process to customize artificial body parts and other medical instruments with integrated functions. These functions provide better shape and durability, and at the same time, reduce the risk of bacterial infection.

The largest study of its kind has unveiled new insights into how genes are regulated in dementia, including discovering 84 new genes linked to the disease.
Fish oil may help fight against superbugs For the first time, Australian scientists have confirmed a link between the role of regular fish oil to break down the ability of 'superbugs' to become resistant to antibiotics. The discovery, led by Flinders University and just published in international journal mBio, found that the antimicrobial powers of fish oil fatty acids could prove a simple and safe dietary supplement for people to take with antibiotics to make their fight against infection more effective. Importantly, our studies indicate that a major antibiotic resistance mechanism in cells...
