An air filter made out of corn protein instead of petroleum products can concurrently capture small particulates as well as toxic chemicals like formaldehyde that current air filters can’t.
Baby kangaroo feces might help provide an unlikely solution to the environmental problem of cow-produced methane.
By adding weak linkers to a polymer network, chemists dramatically enhanced the material’s resistance to tearing.
PROTEIN MAPPING For the first time, researchers have succeeded in mapping the proteins in an old, frozen poop. The samples of dog poop are hundreds of years old and stem from sledge dogs at a settlement belonging to one of Alaska's indigenous peoples. The proteins give researchers new insight into the relationship between humans and sledge dogs.
New research explores how Dyson maps are putting quantum computers to work in designing fusion energy devices.
MIT engineers’ new technology can probe the neural circuits that influence hunger, mood, and a variety of diseases.
The results could help turn up unconventional superconducting materials.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed an implantable biotechnology that produces and releases CAR-T cells for attacking cancerous tumors.
In a study aimed at assessing the impact of washing poultry on kitchen contamination, researchers found that more than a quarter of study participants contaminated salad with raw poultry – including many study participants who did not wash the poultry.
Scientists find a protein common to flies and people is essential for supporting the structure of axons that neurons project to make circuit connections.
Work could lead to heady applications in novel electronics and more.
The first RNA-guided DNA-cutting enzyme found in eukaryotes, Fanzor could one day be harnessed to edit DNA more precisely than CRISPR/Cas systems.
MAGE merges the two key tasks of image generation and recognition, typically trained separately, into a single system.
The negative impact humans can have on their own environment is constantly on full display, with climate change, land alterations and harmful algal blooms impacting people’s lives daily.
North Carolina State University researchers designed a textile “Plant Armor” that forces insects to navigate a maze-like path if they try to reach a plant.
A recent study of Alaskan brown bears (Ursus arctos) finds that there is significant variation in the gut microbiome of bear populations, depending on where the bears live.
An Auburn University researcher has co-authored a study that found the economic costs of biological invasions in the U.S. have exceeded $1.2 trillion since 1960.
Data suggest cell regeneration may occur by DNA recycling with no mutations
While nearly 4 million tons of conventional pesticides are used annually, only a small amount—1% to 25%—reach the target organisms, leaving a large proportion released into the environment as a potential hazard. This is due to many factors such as spray drift, volatilization, rolling down, dust drift, leaching and more.
An Auburn University research team from the College of Veterinary Medicine and the College of Agriculture recently became the first to map a high-quality genome assembly of the blue catfish.
