Turning green gunk to gold, anti-cancer gold
Combining synthetic chemistry techniques with a knowledge of the properties and actions of enzymes, scientists have been able to produce an exciting class of anti-cancer drugs originally isolated from blue-green algae.   view more (2007-01-10)

Opals manufactured by beetles
The gemstone opal could be manufactured synthetically copying a technique employed by a beetle to control the appearance of its outer shell. Researchers from the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford have discovered the first case of opal in an animal, in this case in the weevil... view more (2003-12-16)

Bacteria could make new library of cancer drugs that are too complex to create artificially
Researchers at the University of Warwick are examining a way of using bacteria to manufacture a new suite of potential anti-cancer drugs that are difficult to create synthetically on a lab bench.   view more (2006-11-01)

New wrinkle in Botox treatment could lead to lower doses, better safety
There may soon be a better way to fight unsightly wrinkles. Researchers have discovered a novel way to increase the potency of botulinum neurotoxin treatments - commonly known as Botox - that they say could one day allow patients to receive the injections less frequently while maintaining or even... view more (2006-04-06)

Geoscientists follow arsenic from chicken feed to streambeds
Organic arsenic is fed to poultry to prevent bacterial infections and improve weight gain. A little bit of arsenic is taken up by the tissue and the majority of it is excreted in urine.   view more (2005-10-12)

UCR environmental scientists propose chemical solution to cleaning California's Salton Sea
UC Riverside scientists are able to improve water quality by 90 percent in the rivers flowing into the Salton Sea, the largest lake in California, by using two kinds of water-treatment chemicals that remove phosphorus and silt from the river water.   view more (2005-11-04)

Some antipsychotic drugs may be missing their mark
