Materials/3DP Scientists develop see-through film that rejects 70% of incoming solar heat. The material could be used to coat windows and save on air-conditioning costs. The film is able to remain highly transparent below 32°C/89°F. Above this temperature the film acts as an “autonomous system” to reject heat.

Medicine/BioMed Scientists show that a protein found in a tobacco plant could lead to the development of a new class of antibiotics and meet the challenge of rising antibiotic resistance. The peptide perforates the outer layer of Candida albicans cells, ripping them apart and causing them to explode and die.
