Computational DNA droplet recognizes a specific combination of tumor biomarker microRNAs

The formation of aqueous droplets in macromolecules by liquid-liquid phase separation (or coacervation) is a popular topic in life sciences research. DNA is particularly interesting among the numerous macromolecules that form droplets because it is predictable and programmable, both of which are desirable properties in nanotechnology.

‘Smart’ food packaging material kills microbes and keeps food fresh

A team of scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, US, has developed a 'smart' food packaging material that is biodegradable, sustainable and kills microbes that are harmful to humans. It could also extend the shelf-life of fresh fruit by two to three days.
