Small Fish Detect Big Problems
Researchers are using
bluegills to detect
industrial and agricultural
spills in water supplies.
Changes in the environment
cause the fishes' behavior
and breathing patterns to

Beetles Are Inspiration For New Antibacterial Coatings
Scientists at M.I.T. looking
to add new chemical
functionalities to spray
coatings have turned to the
beetle for inspiration. Some
beetles that live in very

Robot Walks on Water
A new robot made of
ultralight carbon-fiber can
stand or slowly walk on
water. The principle it uses
is borrowed from insects --
surface tension tends to
prevent the water's surface
from breaking, and the

The Taste Gene
In the first study to link
taste genes to behavior in
children, researchers looked
at how natural variations in
a recently discovered taste
gene affected sensitivity to
bitter tastes and food
preferences in a group of

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 -
Scientist Measures Land Used by Lawns
Using census data, satellite images, aerial photographs, and computer simulations, a NASA scientist estimated that turf grass is the single-largest irrigated crop in the United States, three times ... > more -
Biologists Clam Up Waterways To Determine Sources Of Pollution
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 ... > more -
Biologist, Computer Scientist Make 3D Anatomy Images Available Online
Frog biology is especially noteworthy because of the amphibians' sensitivity to pollution, which often flags previously unknown environmental problems. Science labs and classrooms around the world ... > more -
What Kills E Coli and Salmonella Bacteria?
Food scientists at The Ohio State University wanted to see if cooler water could kill bacteria on dirty dishes like E. coli and salmonella. The study found that even when dishes were washed in ... > more -
Newly Sequenced Genome Could Shed Light on Human Diseases
Molecular biologists have completely sequenced the first dog genome. Understanding how genetics plays a role in canine diseases could lead to new treatments for diseases shared by humans, such as ... > more -
Microbiologists Find Soap and Water Best for Washing Hands, Removing Germs
Microbiologists tested 14 hand-hygiene agents -- everything from soap and alcohol rubs to plain old tap water -- against hardy bacteria and viruses applied to the hands of 62 volunteers. The study ... > more -

Pathologists Invent Easy Way To Diagnose MRSA
Infectious disease specialists have developed a way to quickly diagnose the very dangerous, antibiotic-resistant infection called MRSA. By dropping a cartridge in a device the technology makes ... > 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 -
Environmental Engineers Use Algae To Capture Carbon Dioxide
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 algae, ... > more
