15-May-2026 From bottleneck to breakthrough: Student engineers unlock fully autonomous electroporation at UCLA California NanoSystems Institute UCLA students developed new software and hardware tools that streamline a traditionally time-consuming step in synthetic biology research - helping scientists deliver genetic material into cells more quickly, efficiently, and with far less manual work. This innovation will help accelerate research workflows for scientists in both academia and industry, while also expanding the potential for more autonomous biotech labs in the future.
15-May-2026 New research offers practical biosecurity tools to limit poultry disease spread Texas A&M AgriLife Communications New research from a Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences doctoral graduate could help producers better protect poultry flocks from disease outbreaks while reducing costs. Lindsey Wythe’26, Ph.D., who recently defended her doctoral thesis in the Texas A&M Department of Poultry Science, published three studies this year examining how biosecurity practices perform under real-world farm conditions. The work was conducted in the laboratory of Morgan Farnell, Ph.D., professor, associate department head and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service program leader for avian microbiology and immunology.

13-May-2026 Investigating a “post-peak” Chinese economy Kobe University It’s impossible to talk about global economics without considering the existence of China. Since the 1990s, China has experienced rapid growth as the “workshop of the world,” now boasting the 2nd largest global economy. However, that growth has slowed, and the country now faces serious issues such as a bursting real estate bubble and a long-standing trade war with the United States. We spoke with Professor KAJITANI Kai, an expert in modern Chinese economics at the Graduate School of Economics and co-author of last year’s book entitled China Peaking Out, on the present and future of China’s economy.
