Turning Trash Into Power
A new kind of waste digester
uses two different strains
of bacteria in different
tanks. This would normally
take place in the same
environment, but
microbiologists have now

Are Your Dishes Clean?
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 cooler

Biochemists Create Microbicidal Coating to Fight Hospital Infections
New bandages with microbicidal coating kill the most harmful bacteria on contact. The coating is washable and can also be used on hospital gowns and bed sheets, which will help reduce the risk of ... > 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 -
Environmental Toxicologists Link Household Bacteria to Asthma
Scientists have found that chemicals called endotoxins can inflame airways and trigger asthma. Endotoxins are shed by bacteria in household dust. Experts say better home hygiene, washing bed linens ... > more -
Microbiologists and Astrobiologists Help Kids Discover New Species
Extremophiles are microbes that have adapted to extreme environments, such as Utah's Great Salt Lake. But new microorganisms can be found in everyday places, and scientists are showing school kids ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Monitor Environment with Robotic Sensors
Fleets of robotic sensors, networking through thin cables, can track environmental changes such as biogeochemical cycles or loss of biodiversity, helping to manage wild lands. The technology is 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 -
Acoustical Oceanographers Record Noises in the Deep
Manmade and natural sounds, from boat engines to rainfall, sound different below the sea surface. To study their impact of noise on marine life, scientists are submerging devices called Passive ... > 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 -
In Hospitals, Air Ducts with Silver-Based Coating Stay Germ-Free
Preventing hospital infections -- from such stubborn bugs as Staphylococcus aureus -- could get a little easier with a new non-toxic, silver-based material. Used in coating, it helps keep hospital ... > more -
With New Antibiotics, Pediatricians Fight Proxy War on Bugs
Strep throat has become harder to fight using penicillin or amoxicillin, but that's not because the Streptococci have developed a resistance to those drugs. Instead, more than 50 percent of children ... > more
