• Edible electronics

  Scientists in the US have designed an ingestible electronic device that is composed entirely of edible materials and produces its own electric current. The ingestible current source consists of flexible polymer electrodes and a sodium ion electrochemical cell. Having flexible polymer electrodes mean more

• Artificial tongue made from polymer gel

  Scientists in China have made polymer gels that behave like artificial tongues. By measuring how the gels swell, bend and fluorescence, the researchers found that the gels selectively respond to and can distinguish between sourness (citric acid and gluconic acid), sweetness (glucose), saltiness (sod more

• How seawater could corrode nuclear fuel
  

  Japan used seawater to cool nuclear fuel at the stricken Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant after the tsunami in March 2011 -- and that was probably the best action to take at the time, says Professor Alexandra Navrotsky of the University of California, Davis. But Navrotsky and others have since discov more

• Sensible and self-monitoring
  

  For the generation of soft water are mostly used ion exchanging devices with generation of sodium chloride since the beginning of the Sixties. The generated soft water quality and soft water quantity are depending thereby on the static and dynamic characteristics of the softening plant in operation. more

• ORAC Assay Performed on the POLARstar Omega and PHERAstar FS microplate reader
  

  In all oxygen consuming cells, metabolism and oxidative stress generate several intermediates and byproducts that are collectively known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are necessary intermediates in the human body, but they are also involved in the aging process and in the development of many degenerative diseases, including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Herein we describe the determination of the antioxidant capacity of different fruit juices using the ORAC assay; a standardized method that uses Trolox®, a water-soluble analogue of vitamin E, as a standard substance more

• New Silicone Technologies for Skin Care
  

  In today's competitive skin care market, consumers look for a range of benefits, superior aesthetics and cost effectiveness. In response, formulators strive to create products that are multifunctional, easy to use and effective in small quantities. At the same time, the most successful products deliver benefits that stand out from those of the competition. Creams, lotions and color cosmetics must be easy to spread and comfortable to wear, without feeling tacky or greasy. Silicones have been popular ingredients in skin care products for more than fifty years. These versatile materials are known for their emolliency, wetting and spreading characteristics and ability to provide unique aesthetics. As technology continues to evolve, silicones increasingly offer multifunctional, high performance properties. This article reviews some of the newest silicone technologies available for the formulation of innovative skin care products more
