As science and technology go nano, scientists search for new tools to manipulate, observe and modify the “building blocks” of matter at the nanometer scale….
Scientists from Stanford University, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the Technical University of Denmark combined theory and experimentation to…
Researchers at Columbia University have made a significant step toward visualizing small biomolecules inside living biological systems with minimum…
In the mid-1970s, the first available satellite images of Antarctica during the polar winter revealed a huge ice-free region within the ice pack of the Weddell…
Children's food allergies are gradually increasing, but they may be as much as doubling among black children. According to a study published today in the March…
The bark of the Amur cork tree (Phellodendron amurense) has traveled a centuries-long road with the healing arts. Now it is being put through its paces by…
Black bears in Yosemite National Park and elsewhere are notorious for seeking out human food, even breaking into cars and cabins for it. A new study reveals…
An Indiana University study found that elite college athletes — typically the picture of health and vitality — often struggle to stay active in later years,…

The present development is a device that allows an incubation for specific areas, particularly for each individual vessel, providing these light/dark conditions and at the same time the implementation of optical measurements without interacting with experimental conditions in other areas
This is an innovative application for life science industry. Furthermore, this application is a universal utility in screenings of drug efficiency e.g. against human-pathogenic microorganisms. It is also possible to test drugs against ion channel function of viruses or molecule libraries for selection of small molecules as new targets or for side effects.
A big step in the development of next-generation fuel cells and water-alkali electrolyzers has been achieved with the discovery of a new class of bimetallic…
A new study from the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) demonstrates that it is possible to…
This important study is reported in the February 2014 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine. Neural crest is a unique cell population induced at the…
