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 -
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 -
Microbiologist Explores New Use for White Wine
Microbiologist Mark Daeschel is developing a new use for white wine--it is a very good cleaner of stains! The alcohol in wine can efficiently remove countertop stains and clean fruit, a property ... > 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 -
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 -
Chemist Invents Fishing Line that Changes Color When Damaged
Ropes and fishing lines made of a new plastic that changes color when damaged or heated can let climbers and fishermen know when it's time to get a replacement. Made of a polymer mixed with a dye, ... > more -
Biologist, Computer Scientist Make 3D Anatomy Images Available Online
