Researchers at the State University of Campinas used a product from native stingless bees to extract bioactive compounds, such as caffeine, from chocolate manufacturing waste. This process adds nutritional and commercial value to an ingredient that is usually discarded.

A new report from University of Warwick finds communities across the UK feel left out of the benefits of public sector artificial intelligence – calling for more public participation in AI policy.

Wiley announces the release of additional data to its IR, Raman, LC-MS, and SmartSpectra libraries, significantly broadening compound coverage.

Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the electron’s charge, but researchers are now exploring the possibility of harnessing its other intrinsic properties. In a recent study, scientists from Japan demonstrated that sound waves in certain solids can generate orbital currents—flow of electron orbital angular momentum. Their findings establish a foundation realizing next-generation ‘orbitronic’ devices using existing acoustic technology.

Scientists developed an automated, high-throughput system that relies on imaging biofluid droplets for disease diagnosis, reducing the number of consumables and equipment needed for biomedical testing. In the workflow, images of a drying droplet are analyzed by machine-learning algorithms to diagnose abnormalities in blood. Differences in the drying process of biofluid droplets are used to distinguish between normal and disease samples. This technology can also be used with other bodily fluids, including saliva and urine, and may provide a fast, cost-efficient diagnostic testing means in underserved communities and developing countries.
