Scientists have developed a novel nanomaterial with a dual purpose for energy and environmental cleanup. These tiny 'nanobundles' act as an effective catalyst for methanol oxidation, a key process for fuel cells, and can also use visible light to almost completely break down organic pollutants in water within an hour.

A new study sheds light on the genomic landscape of HEK293 cells, a cornerstone in biopharmaceutical production. Researchers discovered a robust, conserved genetic core across various cell lines, even as mutations gradually accumulate over time. This foundational understanding is crucial for optimizing HEK293 cell lines for more efficient and reliable therapeutic protein and virus manufacturing.
