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

Jellyfish Fight Terrorists
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

Biologists Develop Machine To Remove Viruses From Blood
Infectious disease experts designed a machine called the hemopurifier. It works much like a dialysis machine, using thin fibers to capture and remove viruses from the blood it filters. The machine ... > more -
Industrial Hygienists Reveal Dangers Of Mold
Microbiologists studying mold found that it can grow on almost any building material and in almost any environment. Even before becoming visible, mold can be dangerous because it releases chemicals ... > more -
Marine Biologists Work To Protect Seahorses By Developing A Breeding Program
Marine biologists, worried that regular harvesting of wild seahorses may threaten the creature with extinction, have begun breeding them in home aquariums. Caring for seahorses requires a three-step ... > more -
Microbiologists Discover Reason Why The Flu Virus Thrives In Winter
Virologists investigating transmission of the flu virus found that it is more likely to spread at colder temperatures. The dry, cold conditions pull moisture out of droplets released by coughs and ... > more -

Entomologists Buzzing About Vanishing Bee Populations
Entomologists are studying the reasons behind an enormous bee die off happening across the country. They call it Colony Collapse Disorder, and if they cannot find a solution the 80% of fruits and ... > more -
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 -
Sniffing Dog Provides Cost-Effective Contamination Detection
America's only dog that's trained to sniff mercury is able to detect as little as a half-gram, and is faster and cheaper than traditional lab analysis. Dogs' olfactory membranes are larger and 44 ... > 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 -
Mechanical Engineers Have New Bug-Inspired Robot That Senses Its Way With Flexible Antenna
Researchers have developed a flexible, sensor-laden artificial antenna to help a robotic "bug" move and navigate just like the common cockroach. The bug can curry along walls, turn corners, avoid ... > more
