In order to develop an extremely sensitive temperature sensor, scientists took a close look at temperature-sensitive plants. However, they did not mimic the properties of the plants; instead, they developed a hybrid material that contains, in addition to synthetic components, the plant cells themselves.

Graphene lightbulb to go on sale later this year
A graphene lightbulb with lower energy emissions, longer lifetime and lower manufacturing costs has been launched thanks to a University of Manchester research and innovation partnership.
A quantum sensor for nanoscale electron transport
In an experiment, scientists used nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond to sense the properties of magnetic field noise tens of nanometers away from the silver samples.
Microsecond Raman imaging might probe cells, organs for disease
A vibrational spectroscopic imaging technology that can take images of living cells could represent an advanced medical diagnostic tool for the early detection of cancer and other diseases.
Biomedical researchers convert microbubbles to nanoparticles
Biomedical researchers have successfully converted microbubble technology already used in diagnostic imaging into nanoparticles that stay trapped in tumours to potentially deliver targeted, therapeutic payloads.
High-tech method allows rapid imaging of functions in living brain
Researchers studying cancer and other invasive diseases rely on high-resolution imaging to see tumors and other activity deep within the body's tissues. Using a new high-speed, high-resolution imaging method, researchers were able to see blood flow, blood oxygenation, oxygen metabolism and other functions inside a living mouse brain at faster rates than ever before.
Physicists report technology with potential for sub-micron optical switches
A team of scientists believes that its technology could result in optical switches with sub-square-micron footprints, potentially allowing densely packed switching fabrics on a chip.
