Our experts have also developed several blends for synergistic effects. For example, our XtraBlend® RN, derived from spinach and rosemary, offers a high-performance natural alternative to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for mayonnaise, salad dressings and other lipid emulsions. Finally, there’s more to food preservation than just maintaining taste and colour. The food and beverage industry is…

CambridgeSeven—the historic Massachusetts office cofounded in 1962 by Ivan Chermayeff, Peter Chermayeff, and five other modernist luminaries—released images this month showing their newest project in the City of Lake Charles, Louisiana. The Port Wonder Children’s Museum & Nature Center is a 32,000-square-foot hub by CambridgeSeven overlooking Louisiana’s scenic Lake Charles. At the new $20 million…

Consumer understanding and trend programmes Consumers, and understanding their needs and desires, are at the heart of our approach to flavours. Our global research teams track trends, conduct ethnographic studies and carry out detailed qualitative and quantitative research to understand consumers and inspire the next innovation. Globally 47% of consumers would be encouraged to buy…

The OSIRIS-REx sample return capsule (foreground) landed in the Utah desert on September 24, carrying samples collected from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu (background).  Emily Lankiewicz Capturing a piece of an asteroid and bringing it to Earth is even more difficult than it is time-consuming. NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched on September 8, 2016, and began orbiting…

Despite incredible advances in modern genomic research, science is nowhere near being able to clone long-extinct animals like the fictional ones in Jurassic Park. Even relatively recent extinctions remain enormously difficult to overcome. An innovative branch of research that joins robotics with paleontology, however, does let scientists bring back long-gone creatures in a different way:…

Abstract Deep learning has become a popular tool to study cis-regulatory function. Yet efforts to design software for deep-learning analyses in regulatory genomics that are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) have fallen short of fully meeting these criteria. Here we present elucidating the utility of genomic elements with neural nets (EUGENe), a FAIR toolkit…

Newswise — For decades, the standard reference tool for ultraprecise timekeeping has been the atomic clock. Scientists have known that an even more precise and reliable timepiece was possible, but technical limitations kept it only a theoretical prospect. Now, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, Texas A&M University and several…

Abstract Landfills generate outsized environmental footprints due to microbial degradation of organic matter in municipal solid waste, which produces the potent greenhouse gas methane. With global solid waste production predicted to increase substantially in the next few decades, there is a pressing need to better understand the temporal dynamics of biogeochemical processes that control methane…

Abstract In this paper, a wideband transmission unit cell is proposed for programmable metasurfaces operating in the Ka-band. The unit cell features a compact period of only 2.91 mm, corresponding to 0.34 λ0 at the center frequency of 35 GHz. A receiving layer, consisting of a patch loaded with two PIN diodes, is utilized to achieve 1-bit…
