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

Wood Glue Inspired by Mussels
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

Detecting Alzheimer's Early
Building upon a recent
discovery that the same
Alzheimer's disease process
that goes on in the brain
also occurs in the eye,
researchers have developed a
pair of optical tests that

Possible Fix For Global Warming?
Engineers have designed a
simple, sustainable and
natural carbon sequestration
solution using algae. A team
at Ohio University created a
photo bioreactor that uses
photosynthesis to grow

Biochemists Develop Diagnostic Tool to ID Strains Faster
Biochemists have developed a new tool that can identify a strain of influenza in hours, instead of the usual days or weeks, potentially speeding up the development of new vaccines. A sample of the ... > more -
Chemists Steal Engineering Tricks from Sponges
Sponges are the homes of colonies of tiny marine animals, and wonders of miniaturized engineering. They employ complex structural arrangements, the strongest glasses known to man, and even ... > more -
Biomedical Engineers' 'Body-on-a-Chip' Could Reduce Cost of Developing New Drugs
A new kind of microchip can host human cells to mimic the reaction of different tissues in the body. The chip could help reduce the need for animal testing, and lower the cost of developing new ... > more -
Electrical Engineers And Medical Technologists Create Easier Way To Diagnose Diabetes
Endocrinologists, engineers, and microbiologists worked together to create a new testing method for diabetes. It projects light into the skin in order to measure the presence of advanced glycation ... > more -
Engineers Make Cheaper, Brighter Displays Out Of Organic Materials
Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are plastic-based materials that are able to emit light. Engineers are beginning to make displays out of OLEDs by spraying the materials on a surface, the way an ... > more -
Automotive Engineers Team Up to Improve Energy-Saving Technology
Mechanical and electrical engineers at DaimlerChrysler, General Motors and BMW have jointly developed a hybrid-vehicle technology that shuts the internal combustion engine off when the vehicle stops. ... > more -
Safer Ventilator Prevents Contamination From Water Condensation
Doctors can now keep patients who are in respiratory care safer with a new kind of ventilator. Ventilator oxygen is completely dry and needs to be humidified for the patient's comfort, but water can ... > more -
Psychiatrists Can Now Predict An Individual Patient's Response To A Drug
The first in a new generation of gene microarrays, computer chips that chemically or electrically express DNA, can predict how a person's body will metabolize about 25 percent of drugs on the market, ... > more -
A Vacuum Alternative to Pesticides for Microbiology Solution
A physical chemist has developed a new technique for ridding harvested produce of insect pests and microorganisms without using pesticides such as methyl bromide. The technique, called Metabolic ... > more -
Chemist Reviews Wine without Opening Bottle -- an 'MRI for Your Cab'
A new "wine scanner" measures the presence of chemicals in a bottle without opening it, assessing for example if too much oxygen seeped in and turned the wine into vinegar. In a procedure similar to ... > more
