Nonstick chewing gum to become a reality
Easy-to-remove chewing gum is to become a reality, thanks to a major technological break-through. The announcement will be made this week at the BA Festival of Science in York. view more (2007-09-14)
Figuring out function from bacteria's bewildering forms
The constellation of shapes and sizes among bacteria is as remarkable as it is mysterious. Why should Spirochaeta halophila resemble a bedspring coil, Stella a star and Clostridium cocleatum a partly eaten donut? No one really knows. view more (2006-07-19)
Waterproof superglue may be strongest in nature
The glue one species of water-loving bacteria uses to grip its surroundings may be the strongest natural adhesive known to science. view more (2006-04-12)
Spacecraft, heal thyself
Building spacecraft is a tough job. They are precision pieces of engineering that have to survive in the airless environment of space, where temperatures can swing from hundreds of degrees Celsius to hundreds of degree below zero in moments. view more (2006-01-23)
Glue made from ethanol-production leftovers may be worth more than the fuel itself
Mixing up a batch of ethanol from alfalfa or switchgrass isn't nearly as efficient as creating it from corn, but that doesn't mean growing grass crops for fuel won't pay, says Paul Weimer. view more (2006-09-28)
How 1 bacteria colonizes the gut and causes food poisoning
Food poisoning caused by the bacteria enterohemorrhagic Eschericia coli (EHEC) O157:H7A results in severe abdominal cramps and bloody diarrhea. view more (2007-10-19)
Researchers get neurons and silicon talking
European researchers have created an interface between mammalian neurons and silicon chips. view more (2006-03-28)
Cranberry sauce: good for what ails you
Cranberry sauce is not the star of the traditional Thanksgiving Day meal, but when it comes to health benefits, the lowly condiment takes center stage. view more (2007-11-14)
Tiny shock absorbers help bacteria stick around inside the body
Bacteria have hair-like protrusions with a sticky protein on the tip that lets them cling to surfaces. The coiled, bungee cord-like structure of the protrusions helps the bacteria hang on tightly, even under rough fluid flow inside the body. view more (2006-08-30)
Nanotube Adhesive Sticks Better Than a Gecko's Foot
Mimicking the agile gecko, with its uncanny ability to run up walls and across ceilings, has long been a goal of materials scientists. view more (2007-06-20)
Engineers Use Blood's Hydrodynamics to Manipulate Stem, Cancer Cells
A tiny, implantable device has pulled adult stem cells out of a living rat with a far greater purity than any present technique. view more (2008-01-24)
Algae understand the language of bacteria
It has hitherto not been known that higher organisms, such as green algae, can communicate with bacteria. But Debra Milton, associate professor at Ume'å University in Sweden, shows in the recent issue of the prominent journal Science that bacteria attract green algae with the aid of signal molecules. Surfaces under water are rapidly... view more... (2002-11-12)
Binghamton University researcher makes major biofilm dispersion breakthrough
A Binghamton University biologist's discovery of a molecule that induces the dispersion of biofilms will likely mean a sea change in health care, manufacturing, shipping and pharmaceutics over the coming years. view more (2006-10-13)
Floating and Spiky
With the aid of complex computer simulations, scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam and at the University of Heidelberg have discovered how the shape and distribution of certain sticky areas on the cell affect its adhesion in blood vessels. view more (2006-11-06)
Engineers create gecko-inspired, high-friction micro-fibers
Inspired by the remarkable hairs that allow geckos to hang single-toed from sheer walls and scamper along ceilings, a team of researchers led by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, has created an array of synthetic micro-fibers that uses very high friction to support loads on smooth surfaces. view more (2006-08-23)
New wood-plastic composites to boost industry, help use waste products
Wood science researchers in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University have developed new wood-plastic composites that are stronger and less expensive than any similar products now available - a major breakthrough for this growing industry. view more (2006-10-03)
2006 is banner year for discoveries of new species in Borneo's rainforests
Scientists have discovered at least 52 new species of animals and plants this past year on the island of Borneo. The discoveries, described in a new WWF report, include 30 unique fish species, two tree frog species, 16 ginger species, three tree species and one large-leafed plant species. view more (2006-12-19)
Licorice extract provides new treatment option for canker sores
What common oral condition appears as shallow ulcers of different sizes, affects one in five Americans, can be caused by food allergies and hormonal changes, and also can cause severe mouth pain? view more (2008-05-23)
UA researchers identify new adherence factor, Pili, produced by tuberculosis
Researchers at The University of Arizona College of Medicine's Department of Immunobiology have discovered that the agent that causes tuberculosis (TB), Mycobacterium tuberculosis, produces a new type of virulence factor called Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Pili (MTP). Their findings suggest that MTP could be a promising, new TB-vaccine candidate. view more (2007-03-06)
Like a snail through the intestinal canal
The medical device currently used for intestinal research, the colonsope, causes patients great discomfort. At TU Delft, an alternative method has been developed, inspired by the way in which snails move. view more (2006-09-22)
