“Our biochemiresistor was able to detect enrofloxacin in neat milk in 40 minutes” A whole new class of biosensor that can detect exceptionally small traces of contaminants in liquids in just 40 minutes has been [...]

It might be a candidate for human clinical trials Mayo Clinic researchers have successfully used smaller, folded DNA molecules to stimulate regeneration and repair of nerve coatings in mice that mimic multiple sclerosis (MS). They [...]

You’d be amazed at how much you can learn from a plant. In a paper published this week in the journal Science, a Michigan State University professor and a colleague discuss why if humans are [...]

In what may prove to be a significant boon for industry, separating mixtures of liquids or gasses has just become considerably easier. Using a new process they describe as “reverse fossilization,” scientists at Kyoto University‘s [...]

The leaking of environmentally damaging pollutants into our waters and atmosphere could soon be counteracted by a simple mathematical algorithm. Presenting their research June 26, in IOP Publishing‘s journal Inverse Problems, the researchers, from Université [...]

The elusive goal of mapping thoughts in the human brain ‘Neural Fingerprints’ of Memory Associations Decoded Researchers have long been interested in discovering the ways that human brains represent thoughts through a complex interplay of [...]

Access to clean, reliable and affordable energy is one of the major sustainability and human development challenges of the 21st Century. Energy empowers communities, yet reliance on traditional and fossil energy sources has escalated concern [...]

A new type of paint made with carbon nanotubes at Rice University can help detect strain in buildings, bridges and airplanes. The Rice scientists call their mixture “strain paint” and are hopeful it can help [...]

Malaria could be curtailed by the creatures Property owners who need to banish destructive woodworm could have an eight-legged alternative to chemical sprays that are potentially dangerous and only partially effective. They could enlist the [...]

More than 60% of the investment in making microbial fuel cells is the cost of platinum Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) have identified a catalyst that provides the same level of efficiency in [...]

The new method does not require any specialized equipment and can be implemented in any laboratory. Considered by many as the most promising material of the future, graphene still remains an expensive and hard-to-fabricate substance. [...]

By synchronizing 98 tiny cameras in a single device, electrical engineers from Duke University and the University of Arizona have developed a prototype camera that can create images with unprecedented detail. The camera’s resolution is [...]
