What if there were a way to make proteins, enzymes and reagents right in the lab, in small amounts, on demand? Microscopic images of E.coli bacteria. Image courtesy of the Center for Disease Control.

To meet the ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, the U.S. is going to have to get creative with renewable energy. We can double down on long-established technologies like wind, geothermal, ...

When a bacterium becomes resistant to one antibiotic, it may sometimes become more sensitive to another. This biological side ...

Bacteria are ubiquitous microscopic organisms capable of rapid growth. While beneficial strains like lactic acid bacteria (LAB) promote gut health and food preservation, pathogenic bacteria such as ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) have recently demonstrated the feasibility of using estrone-linked BODIPYs sonosensitizers for antimicrobial sonodynamic therapy ...
