An international research team led by Prof Shahabaldin Rezania from Sejong University (South Korea) and researchers from Italy has introduced a novel nickel-doped alginate technology that ...

Beads which can store heat, which would otherwise be wasted, from various sources, including industrial operations and the summer sun. The new material has been made using alginate, an inexpensive, ...

The new feature enables control of bead formation and rapid production of particles with different sizes, shapes, and morphologies. Dolomite Microfluidics, a design and manufacturing company based in ...

Developed by researchers from the SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre and COATED M2A programme at Swansea University, the material is said to be easily scalable and can be sized and shaped to fit ...

The process starts with the dissolving of sodium alginate in water. Following this, expanded graphite is added, and a method of gelation is chosen: The first method is achieved by transferring the ...

Alginate forms a kind of supporting skeleton in the cell walls of certain kinds of algae. Scientists use the gel-like mass from Chilean seaweed as the substrate for stem cells. They can flexibly ...

Cartilage tissue engineering aims to emulate the native environment and gradient structure of chondrocytes to promote the restoration of their extracellular matrix (ECM). Recently, cartilage-derived ...
