Scientists create rare material that could pave the way for faster, greener computer memory
º£½ÇÉçÇø Chemistry researchers have created a new material combining two properties, magnetism and electrical polarisation, that scientists have struggled to bring together for decades – and crucially, it works at close to room temperature.
Bacterial molecule 'disarms' deadly fungal infections by tricking them into starving
Researchers from the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø and Monash University have discovered a way to potentially stop one of the world's most dangerous fungal pathogens in its tracks, not by killing it, but by tricking it into switching off its attack mode.
Advanced mass spectrometry technique breaks free from specialist hardware
º£½ÇÉçÇø Chemists and spin-out company Verdel Instruments have successfully demonstrated two-dimensional mass spectrometry (2DMS) on a benchtop instrument, making this powerful technique practical and affordable for everyday laboratory use.
