Bling is associated with expensive, ostentatious accessories and “bad taste”. This contrasts with the prevailing aesthetic values of the design world. But what happens when bling and design are brought together? A new thesis in industrial design from the Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University in Sweden, shows that provocations – such as breaking convention with the help of the bling subcult

Minor changes in moisture level can promote lipid molecules to reorganise themselves in biomaterial or biomembranes. This can affect how the skin, lungs and tear film protect us from dehydration. This mechanism was studied in a paper by Nikol Labecka, Emma Sparr and co-workers recently published in PNAS.  Read the article about how lipid molecules reorganise drying interfacesLink to the article in

What keeps spaghetti from disintegrating in boiling water? The answer, according to new research, is gluten. The amount of salt in the water also has an unexpected significance.Using advanced techniques, researchers examined the internal structure of regular and gluten-free spaghetti – straight off the shelf. The results show that gluten has a crucial role in protecting the structure of pasta duri

Solution viscosity is a key quantity for high concentration formulations of monoclonal antibodies suitable for subcutaneous injection. A dramatic increase of the viscosity with increasing antibody concentration is frequently observed, and charge effects are often believed to play a major role in this phenomenon. Unfortunately, our ability to successfully predict this for different antibodies based
