We profile two projects combining analytical technology with smartphone portability for food analysis

New MS technology could help canines become better “chemical sensors” for explosive detection

Meet Envirobot, a robotic eel that swims through contaminated water to find the source of pollution

Meet a tiny biosensor that could diagnose HIV within a week of infection

Waseem Asghar, Assistant Professor at Florida Atlantic University, received the 2016 Humanity in Science Award.

New heat-controlled transistor has potential in infrared cameras and functional dressings

What do recent winners of the Nobel Prize tell us about the future of science?

Meet NeoSpectra Micro - the tiny spectrometer that gives instant food analysis

Laser diffraction and dynamic light scattering enable the identification of an optimal particle size distribution for dairy emulsions to support the cost-effective manufacture of high quality products.

In this article we take an introductory look at work carried out by TU Clausthal to develop an improved understanding of the mechanisms of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) by polymer flooding, and the relevance of fluid rheology. Example data illustrates the insight that rheology provides and its application in optimizing fluid performance.
