Gene editing technique provides ability to switch genes on without adding transgenes. Rothamsted scientists have found a way to switch on a dormant gene without inserting foreign DNA and creating a GMO, as would usually be the approach. This is the first such demonstration using a gene editing ‘deletion’ approach in any organism, with previous methods not managing this feat in such a precise and predictable way...
BioChromato Inc. has demonstrated how a Thermal Desorption and Pyrolysis / Direct Analysis in Real Time-Mass Spectrometry (TDP/DART-MS) analysis method can reveal the thermal history of recycled thermoplastic resins. Recycling thermoplastic resins such as polypropylene is regarded as a vital step to help realise a more sustainable society. However, physical properties of thermoplastic resins such as strength and ability to elongate are known to degrade after repeated thermal reprocessing....
Researchers at Swansea University have used a Linkam LTS420E-P stage to make temperature dependent measurements on organic photovoltaic (PV) cells, advancing our understanding of the PV cells that are the basis of solar power generation. Researchers at Swansea University, UK, have proven that it is possible to achieve near-unity charge generation quantum yields in organic solar cells...
Transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) have evolved throughout the years to offer ever greater resolution and magnification capabilities. However, for an instrument to work at its best, all external interferences that can affect the position of the electron beam – such as vibrations and stray magnetic fields – need to be removed. Researchers at Cataler Corporation have turned to Spicer Consulting to help them to optimise their equipment for investigations into non-homogeneous catalysts....
