Clam Cleanup
Biologists are able to
determine the sources of
toxins in water by using
clams as pollutant traps.
Clams naturally clean water
by feeding absorbing toxins
in their tissues as they
draw in water. By placing

New Surgery For Fido's Knees
Veterinary orthopedic
surgeons developed a
procedure to fix cranial
cruciate ligament (CCL)
deficiencies in dogs. A
method adapted from human
ankle surgeries, the

Slower Growing Grass
Horticultural scientists
bred a new, slower-growing
variation of St. Augustine
grass. It grows about half
as fast as normal grass,
resists cinch bugs, and its
fine blades have a deep
green color. ... > full story
Whale Medicine Makes Scars Disappear
Veterinarians added a
bioadhesive to an existing
antimicrobial agent in order
to make it an effective
protective agent for aquatic
animals such as whales. The
adhesive was originally

Biochemists And Engineers Create Fast-acting Pathogen Sensor
Engineers invented a device to bring air samples into contact with genetically engineered biosensors in the effort to detect dangerous biological agents. The technology uses multiple collections of ... > more -
Physicists Create Insect-imitating Robot To Scoot Over Unstable Surfaces
Physicists studied the movement of animals that are mobile on loose surfaces like sand, mud, and gravel in order to design a robot capable of moving on shifty ground. The robot is based on a common ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Fume About Disappearing Flower Fragrances
Biochemists have shown that air pollution inhibits the distance that flower's fragrances can travel. Scent molecules usually travel easily in the air, but pollutants break them apart, which destroys ... > more -

Civil Engineers Design Walk Through Butterfly Museum Exhibit
Structural engineers created a cocoon-like structure to hold butterflies and keep them flying around visitors. Low ceilings keep the insects at visitor-level, while screened-off ventilation systems ... > more -
Soil Scientists Restore Marshes To Protect Coastal Ecology
Soil scientists spread material dredged from shipping channels over shore areas to help rebuild marsh areas. Wetlands along the shore protect the land from storm surges, create habitat for wildlife, ... > more -
Mechanical Engineers Reinforce Flimsy Fishing Lures
Materials scientists and engineers added reinforcements to flexible plastic fishing lures to keep them from snapping off their hooks. Braiding microfibers into the lures with techniques used in ... > more -
Engineers Design Two Piece Magnetic Aquarium Pump
Chemical engineers developed a pump that splits into two pieces, a propeller for the interior of the aquarium and a motor for the exterior, connected across the glass wall by strong magnets. The ... > more -
Biologists Develop Machine To Remove Viruses From Blood
Infectious disease experts designed a machine called the hemopurifier. It works much like a dialysis machine, using thin fibers to capture and remove viruses from the blood it filters. The machine ... > more -
