Researchers use light to generate nanoscale magnetization

Using an engineered metasurface that traps light, Cornell researchers have demonstrated a new way to generate strong static magnetic fields without using external magnets or magnetic materials – an approach that could advance spintronics, quantum and photonic computing, and data storage.

Breath, not blood: device measures fat burning in exhaled air

Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed a portable measuring device that detects the metabolic marker acetone in breath almost as accurately as a mass spectrometer. It can be used by laypeople and detects when the body starts burning fat when dieting or during exercise.

Tangled Seaweed Inspires One-Size-Fits-All Cleaners for Ocean Microplastics

Inspired by naturally-occurring mats and balls of seaweed, researchers have created highly-porous, superadhesive meshes that are capable of capturing both large and small microplastic particles – a longstanding challenge in the field.

Injectable "satellite livers" could offer an alternative to liver transplantation

The engineered tissue grafts could take on the liver's function and help thousands of people with liver failure.

Tracking Tiny Facial Movements Could Offer a New Way to Measure Pain

Rutgers sought to move beyond a one-size-fits-all scale to provide a biological basis for assessing pain
