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

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.

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

Anti-Freeze For Your Plants
Botanists developed a spray
that, when misted over a
plant, will help it endure
temperatures 2.2 to 9.4
degrees Fahrenheit colder
than it would without the
spray, depending upon the

Horticulturists And Botanists Develop Flower That Blooms All Summer Long
A horticulturist created a hybrid lily lookalike that expresses a lavender-lilac color, strong and upright stems, and winter hardiness. In gardens it blooms until the first hard freeze in the fall in ... > more -
Horticultural Scientists Develop Slow-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 ... > more -
Veterinarians And Microbiologists Develop Antimicrobial Agent That Works Under Water
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 developed to ... > more -
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 -

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 -
Food Chemists Use 'Edible Antifreeze' To Make Smoother 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 inhibits the ... > 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
