Zoo Focuses Efforts on Poison Dart Frog Breeding Program
The National Aquarium in Baltimore is home to over 16,000 different varieties of animals, so that in one day visitors can travel around the One of the most toxic animals in the world -- the poison ... > 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 -
Carb-cutting Enzyme Stopped By Bean Extract, Endocrinologists Say
UCLA researchers have found an extract in white kidney beans may help the body stop carbs from breaking down into sugars. A digestive enzyme in the body normally acts like scissors, literally cutting ... > more -
Sea Urchins' Genetics Add To Knowledge Of Cancer, Alzheimer's And Infertility
Researchers are using the sea urchins to study and understand diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and muscular dystrophy. Although they are invertebrates, the creatures ... > more -
Biochemists Develop Diagnostic Tool to ID Strains Faster
Biochemists have developed a new tool that can identify a strain of influenza in hours, instead of the usual days or weeks, potentially speeding up the development of new vaccines. A sample of the ... > more -

Mimicking Insects to Avoid Sinking Using Surface Tension
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, ... > 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 -
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 -
Horticulture Engineers Take Years to Carefully Grow Bulbs
Of the 1,700 varieties of tulips, about 80 percent come from Holland, which exports more than $700 million's worth of tulips per year. Tulip bulbs take up to five years to fully form, and require ... > more
