Innovative method aims to remove PFAS from wastewater
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers at Oxford Brookes University have developed an innovative way to tackle one of the world’s most persistent environmental threats: toxic chemicals in the world’s water supplies. They developed a new machine called a hydrodynamic reactor that uses gas bubbles that form and collapse due to changes in pressure, a process called cavitation. This reactor removes…

Researchers develop new method to deliver RNA and drugs to cells
An ionizable fulvestrant analog was formulated into nanoparticles with cholesterol, DSPC, and DMG-PEG (molar ratio 50:38.5:10:1.5) to encapsulate siRNA (FXNP). Credit: Advanced Materials (2024). DOI: 10.1002/adma.202403701 Researchers at the University of Toronto and its affiliated hospitals have developed a way to deliver therapeutic RNA and powerful drugs directly into cells, which could lead to more effective disease treatments. The study,…

Theoretical physicists develop method to model the central theory of quantum gravity in the lab
Illustration of the theory used to model quantum gravity: The lattice simulates a curved space-time. Near the boundary, the lattice becomes denser due to the curvature. Interacting electrical signals in the bulk (yellow, red, and blue lines) simulate the gravitational dynamics. The dynamics in the bulk and at the outer boundary correspond to each other. They are consistent with the…
