Researchers have developed a technique for creating new kinds of optical materials and devices that could lead to light-bending and cloaking devices. “Chemists and physicists will be able to build an almost infinite number of new structures with all sorts of interesting properties…” Using DNA as a key tool, the team...
Researchers have identified five new categories of mental illness that cut across current diagnoses of anxiety and depression. The five categories, which researchers define by their specific symptoms and areas of brain activation, are: tension, anxious arousal, general anxiety, anhedonia (the inability to feel pleasure), and melancholia. “By refining the diagnosis,...
Wishing you a prosperous new year rich with excitement. Happy New Year from all of us here at Carbomer Pharmaceutical & Chemical Supply. Happy New Year!
All of us here at Carbomer would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. Merry Christmas!
Researchers have created a new kind of 3D-printing platform that uses ink containing living bacteria. The new ink makes it possible to print small biochemical factories with certain properties, depending on the species of bacteria in the ink. The work also paves the way for the production of biological materials...
More than 90 percent of new drugs received funding from the National Institutes of Health. Now, US President Donald Trump’s proposed budget calls for cutting the NIH budget by 21 percent, or about $7.2 billion. “Cutting the NIH budget could dismantle our ability to address real problems,” says Michael S....
The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa can produce specific molecular factors that dramatically increase or decrease the antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus aureus, another bacterium that often co-infects with P. aeruginosa, researchers report. “The interactions with P. aeruginosa can completely change S. aureus‘s susceptibility to standard antibiotics…” The findings, which appear in a paper...
Carbomer would like to wish everyone a blessed holiday season and a very, very Happy Thanksgiving!
From all of us here at Carbomer Pharmaceutical Chemical Suppliers, we appreciate the sacrifices made by our Veterans. Happy Veterans Day!
Engineers have developed a flexible sensor “skin” that can stretch over any part of a robot’s body or prosthetic to accurately convey information about shear forces and vibration—information critical to grasping and manipulating objects. If a robot sets out to disable a roadside bomb—or delicately handle an egg while cooking...
October 31 isn’t just Halloween—it also marks a pivotal point in religious history as Reformation Day. And the shared day isn’t just a coincidence. “The reason he did that was because the next day was All Saints’ Day.” On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther, a monk and university professor, released his...
Exercise releases irisin, a hormone that helps the body shed fat and keeps it from forming, new research shows. Researchers have learned more about how the hormone irisin helps convert calorie-storing white fat cells into brown fat cells that burn energy. Irisin, which surges when the heart and other muscles...
The technology could enable on-site printing of custom-dosed medications at pharmacies, hospitals, and other locations. “A doctor or pharmacist can choose any number of medications, which the machine would combine into a single dose…” The technique can print multiple medications into a single dose on a dissolvable strip, microneedle patch, or...
The enzyme phosphatidic acid phosphatase plays a crucial role in regulating the amount of fat in the human body—and controlling it is of interest in the fight against obesity. But scientists have now found that getting rid of the enzyme entirely can increase the risk of cancer, inflammation, and other...
Credit: University of Washington A new app could let people easily screen themselves for pancreatic cancer and other diseases, all by snapping a selfie with their smartphone. Pancreatic cancer has one of the worst prognoses—with a five-year survival rate of 9 percent—in part because there are no telltale symptoms or non-invasive...
Engineering students have created a system designed to prevent seizures caused by epilepsy, a neurological disorder affecting millions. First, the team needed to develop a seizure-prediction algorithm. The students created a machine-learning algorithm that was “very good” at predicting seizures: It predicted all seizures in their data set at least two...
