A Vacuum Alternative to Pesticides for Microbiology Solution
A physical chemist has developed a new technique for ridding harvested produce of insect pests and microorganisms without using pesticides such as methyl bromide. The technique, called Metabolic ... > 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 -
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 -
Researchers Apply DNA Biology to Vaccination Technique
Spraying viral genes directly through the skin is a new technique that turns infinitesimal amounts of DNA into an effective vaccine. If approved for use in humans, the new procedure could save lives ... > 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 -
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 -
Plant Scientists Graft Apple Trees to Select Disease-Resistant Traits
Grafting -- an ancient way of cloning plants -- enables plant scientists to create new varieties of apples. The selected genetic traits allow trees to resist pests with less pesticides, and to make ... > more -
Insect Ecologist Spearheads Creation of Oases for Endangered Butterflies
Waystations for monarch butterflies are sprouting up around the country. With milkweed plants and flowers such as zinnias that produce lots of nectar, these gardens will provide oases for the ... > more
