Moving microrobots with bubbles Microrobots smaller than the width of a human hair have been directed to assemble patterns made of single yeast cells and cell-laden agarose microgels using cavitation bubbles by a team from Hawaii. The robots could be used to push cells together to grow artificial tissue. |

Setback for fool's gold photovoltaics Extensive tests by US researchers on nanocrystals of the pyrite phase of iron sulfide -- also known as fool's gold -- suggest that the material is unlikely to be a good candidate for photovoltaic applications, contrary to some predictions. |
