(Nanowerk News) Rutgers scientists have devised a highly accurate method for creating coatings of biologically active materials for a variety of medical products. Such a technique could pave the way for a new era of transdermal medication, including shot-free vaccinations, the researchers said. Writing in Nature Communications ("Efficient electrospray deposition of surfaces smaller than the spray plume"), researchers described a new approach to electrospray deposition, an industrial spray-coating process.

Newswise — Many of the world's largest aquatic food producers are highly vulnerable to human-induced environmental change, with some of the highest-risk countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa demonstrating the lowest capacity for adaptation,a landmark study has shown. The study shows that more than 90% of global "blue" food production, in both capture fisheries and aquaculture, faces substantial risks from environmental change, with several leading countries in Asia and the United States set to face the greatest threats to production.

Agriculture has become a point of focus in the past few years in the context of climate change. This focus is not misplaced, as agricultural activities are responsible for 19-29 per cent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 14 per cent of India's total GHG emissions. . There are three major reasons for this: First is the environmental impacts of these value chains' post-production.

Newswise — In the future, quantum computers may be able to solve problems that are far too complex for today's most powerful supercomputers. To realize this promise, quantum versions of error correction codes must be able to account for computational errors faster than they occur. . However, today's quantum computers are not yet robust enough to realize such error correction at commercially relevant scales.
