  • A new system for cancer detection | Chemistry World - While current cancer-diagnosis methods rely on an invasive biopsy or the detection of cancer-specific biomarkers, South Korean scientists have developed a simple and non-invasive detector for cancer cells that could speed up the early diagnosis of the condition, leading to a greater chance of survival for cancer patients.(10.1039/C2CC38235K)

    Tougher hydrogels to rival rubber

    September 9, 2012 – 10:04 pm

    Tougher hydrogels to rival rubber - Exceptionally tough and stretchy new hydrogels have been developed by US and South Korean scientists.1 The gels, which may eventually find applications in contact lenses and tissue engineering, are 10 times tougher than cartilage and can stretch to 20 times their original length without suffering permanent damage.(10.1038/nature11409)
