Low-Fat Fried Food?
Deep-fried fish could get
healthier with a new
protein-based batter
extracted from the muscle of
discarded fish parts. When
coated onto the fish it
forms a barrier, locking in
taste and moisture while

Virtual Human Body
Anatomists and biochemists
have created a detailed
virtual view of vital organs
in the human body, down to
the level of tissues and
cells. The software
recreates the visualization
from a combination of

Biochemists Develop Proteomic Test For Breast Cancer
Biochemists look at 22 protein biomarkers to distinguish patients with breast cancer from those without it. The early detection test complements mammograms and is most applicable to women who are at ... > more -
Food Chemists Use 'Edible Antifreeze' To Make Smoother Ice Cream
Chemists adding a tasteless edible protein called gelatin hydrolysate to ice cream find that it keeps ice crystals small, resulting in a smoother, more pleasing product. The protein inhibits the ... > more -
Chemist's Glue Borrows Unique Amino Acid from Mollusk
Chemists combined an exotic form of an amino acid -- used by mussels to stick to rocks -- with soy flour to make a new, high-strength adhesive. The new glue helps in manufacturing natural-looking ... > more -
A Biochemist Explains The Chemistry Of Cooking
A biochemist and cook explains that cooking is all about chemistry and knowing some facts can help chefs understand why recipes go wrong. Because cooking is essentially a series of chemical ... > more -
Mathematicians And Artists Use Algorithms To Make Complicated Paper Sculptures
