Beads which can store heat, which would otherwise be wasted, from various sources, including industrial operations and the summer sun. The new material has been made using alginate, an inexpensive, ...

We developed a microfluidic device for encapsulating gold nanoparticles in Micro-Alginate Beads (MABs). The size and the gap of the monodisperse alginate droplets were successfully controlled by ...

The new feature enables control of bead formation and rapid production of particles with different sizes, shapes, and morphologies. Dolomite Microfluidics, a design and manufacturing company based in ...

Alginate forms a kind of supporting skeleton in the cell walls of certain kinds of algae. Scientists use the gel-like mass from Chilean seaweed as the substrate for stem cells. They can flexibly ...

Antimicrobial resistance is a currently one the biggest challenges in research and medicine. Researchers at ETH Zürich and the University of Regensburg have developed high-throughput methods for ...
