Are simulations the new wet lab experiments? Cell culture experiments constantly fail, because most of the time we hardly know what we are doing. It is research in its purest form. We know something should be possible, but we are not sure how exactly. So we slowly feel our way in the dark, moving forward…

Nanotechnology is a fascinating field of innovation, since it literally opens up a new dimension for every industry. Per definition a nanomaterial is smaller than 100 nm in one dimension. A simple example that everyone knows is a soap bubble. While the surface of a soap bubble is clearly visible by eye, the wall thickness…

A technology that impacts various industries. Cell-free protein production is not a new way of producing a meat alternative. It is a discipline of synthetic biology, where scientist work on producing functional proteins (enzymes, small molecules, vaccines, etc.) through cell extracts instead of whole cells. To obtain these extracts cells are broken open (yes, sorry…
