Results We found that compared with the control group and LPS group, the sinusitis symptom scores in the Merocel sponge combined with LPS group were significantly increased; the respiratory epithelia ...

Normally, solar cells require two layers, which can be achieved either by combining the silicon with another material such as gold, or by mixing different kinds of atoms into each silicon layer. But ...

Scientists find that holes can also improve technology, including medical devices. They describe an entirely new way to make a solar cell: by etching holes in the top layer to make it porous.

Normally, solar cells require two layers, which can be achieved either by combining the silicon with another material such as gold, or by mixing different kinds of atoms into each silicon layer.

Published in Nature Materials, the paper describes an entirely new way to make a solar cell: by etching holes in the top layer to make it porous. The innovation could form the basis for a less ...

The new 3D method better represents how sponge cells function in nature and will help to scale-up production of sponge biomass and bioactive metabolites.
