LEDs made from perovskite, a titanium and calcium crystal, are a potential alternative to silicon-based ones, but until now haven't been able to match them for stability and efficiency
An electrical device that can send and receive chemical signals from neurons could be used in brain-machine interfaces
Regions of repetitive DNA sequence called telomeres cap our chromosomes, with shorter telomeres being linked to Alzheimer's disease, cancer and heart disease
Smart finger uses sensors to detect substances such as glass, silicon and wood with more than 90 per cent accuracy, which could be useful for robotic manufacturing tasks

The Santa Marta sabrewing, an emerald green hummingbird, has been officially documented for only the second time since it was discovered in 1946
The transfusion led an increased number of senescent cells – which accumulate as we get older - in the young mice, suggesting that cellular ageing isn't just a case of wear and tear
Quantum clocks are normally controlled by a classical control system, but to build things like tiny quantum drones that fly around delivering molecules we'll need a fully quantum approach
Mice containing rat cells have produced rat sperm thanks to a modification technique that could be useful for conserving endangered species or creating hybrids

Using just a handful of quantum bits, researchers have used a quantum computer to simulate an infinite line of electron-like particles. The technique could be used to better understand the behaviour of molecules in materials
