Bacteria As Art
Biophysicists are growing
Petri dishes of different
species of bacteria in order
to develop new antibiotics.
The bacteria are subjected
to different temperatures
and have limited food
sources inside the dish.

Protect Yourself From Latex Allergies
Plant biologists and
immunochemists developed a
way to produce rubber from a
desert plant called guayule.
The plant contains a natural
rubber alternative without
the proteins that trigger

Jellyfish Fight Terrorists
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

Edible Antifreeze Saves 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

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 -
Industrial Hygienists Reveal Dangers Of Mold
Microbiologists studying mold found that it can grow on almost any building material and in almost any environment. Even before becoming visible, mold can be dangerous because it releases chemicals ... > more -
Microbiologists Discover Reason Why The Flu Virus Thrives In Winter
Virologists investigating transmission of the flu virus found that it is more likely to spread at colder temperatures. The dry, cold conditions pull moisture out of droplets released by coughs and ... > more -
Arborists Catalogue Tree Details To Measure Their Impact On A City
Arborists and volunteers are combing the streets of Baltimore and other cities, counting trees and gathering information about them. The information they compile will be entered into a computer and ... > more -
Dermatologists Discover Sun Protection Under The Sea
Dermatologists recognize the benefits of a compound called astaxanthin. Found in red ocean plants and animals such as salmon, astaxanthin is the most effective and efficient free radical sponge in ... > more -
Marine Biotechnologists Treat Cancer With Mud-loving Ocean Bacteria
Biomedicine scientists identified and sequenced the genes of a bacteria called Salinispora tropica. It produces anti-cancer compounds and can be found in ocean sediments off the Bahamas. A product ... > more -
Plant Biologists Discover Plant Defenses Against Insects
Plant biologists have identified the strategy used by plants to recognize an attack. When insects ingest parts of a plant digestion turns proteins into a peptide elicitor, which is secreted back into ... > more -
Microbiologists Invent Coating To Protect Athletes From Infection
Microbiologists have devised an anti-microbial coating to protect athletes from potentially deadly infections. When applied to a surface, the coating bonds to it, then inhibits growth of bacteria, ... > more -
