Research at the University of Leeds shows that despite an inherited genetic pre-disposition to grow into a particular worker caste, ant larvae can be triggered…
The genome sequence shows that C. botulinum doesn’t have subtle tools to evade our human defences or tricky methods of acquiring resistance to antibiotics. It…
Apart from that, the bubbles form a strong new way of mixing fluids within a lab-on-a-chip, without the need of complicated external components. The scientists…
The University of Warwick researchers worked with the BBC to collect data from over 198,000 people aged 20–65 years (109,612 men and 88,509 women). As expected…
The HPCC will enable the University of Surrey to ‘scale-up’ experiments; complete more complex research on larger sets of data to ensure greater accuracy and…
The report, “Skills At Work, 1986 to 2006”, written by Professor Alan Felstead (Cardiff University), Professor Duncan Gallie and Dr. Ying Zhou (Oxford…
Engineers at MIT have developed a new technique for detecting damage in concrete bridges and piers that could increase the safety of aging infrastructure by…

Researchers at Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Georgia propose using polysaccharides, or sugary carbohydrates, from…
The liver responds to many diseases that damage its cells by developing scar tissue or fibrosis. MRE uses a modified form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)…
Inspired by this success, a new Biodesign Institute research team, led by John Chaput, is now trying to mimic the process of Darwinian evolution in the…
Preventative medicine and technology are some of the great benefits in this ever-changing age of health care technology. Operations that once required major…
“Environmental changes have always been associated with the appearance of new diseases or the arrival of old diseases in new places. With more changes, we can…
Researchers in the School of Biosciences analysed the African bushbuck, a common species which lives in most sub-Saharan habitat types to test whether DNA…
Scientists have long assumed that fungi exist mainly to decompose matter into chemicals that other organisms can then use. But researchers at the Albert…
