Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Thinking about electricity systems for the future
As we push for a complete overhaul of the electricity system to end its dependence on carbon-based fuels, we have an opportunity to push for the new system constructed in its place to reduce, rather than worsen, current energy injustices including energy poverty.
A multiple electrochemical sensing fibre for long-term disease biomarkers monitoring in vivo
To fabricate a stable device-tissue interface, the bundles of carbon nanotubes fibres were twisted to form a hierarchical structure that mimic the native tissues. After modification, the sensing fibres could realize the long-term monitoring of multiple disease biomarkers in vivo.
Declines in HIV incidence among men and women in a South African population-based cohort
Southern Africa is the region with the world’s highest rate of new HIV infections. Over the last decade, there has been a multi-million-dollar investment in antiretroviral therapy to prevent the onward transmission of HIV and bring the epidemic under control.
