A first in 3D food printing, Ali Ubeyitogullari, an assistant professor of food engineering with the food science and biological and agricultural engineering departments at the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, and postdoctoral fellow Sorour Barekat developed sorghum protein into a 3D food printing gel noted for its hydrophobicity to aid in product cohesion. Known for its drought tolerance, grain sorghum also has multiple health benefits.

Harvard scientists have described a particular movement observed mostly in young, teenaged anacondas, called an S-start. A mathematical model shows that young anacondas, as opposed to babies and adults, exist in a “goldilocks zone” of relative weight and strength to allow them to execute the movement.

The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder has recently designed and built a new CubeSat instrument, toward future energy balance observations with much sharper detail and greater accuracy than we've ever had before.

Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin used machine learning and artificial intelligence to develop new materials that could keep your house cooler and reduce energy bills.

Chemists have discovered for the first time a unique way to control and modify a type of compound widely used in medicines, including a drug used to treat breast cancer.

A new study led by Colorado State University Distinguished Professor Eugene Chen outlines a path to creating advanced, recyclable plastics. Published in Nature, the study describes a breakthrough method for upconverting a natural polymer that is usually made by microorganisms into a wide range of new and more sustainable high-performance materials as well as valuable chiral small molecules for organic and polymer synthesis.

Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s Cheops mission have caught an exoplanet that seems to be triggering flares of radiation from the star it orbits. These tremendous explosions are blasting away the planet’s wispy atmosphere, causing it to shrink every year.

This is the first-ever evidence for a ‘planet with a death wish’. Though it was theorised to be possible since the nineties, the flares seen in this research are around 100 times more energetic than expected.
