Making and modeling better membranes could help unclog pharmaceutical pipelines

Findings pave way for research that focuses on detection and prevention.

After spending more than a decade decoding breast milk’s important health-promoting constituents, a team of researchers in the Foods for Health Institute at the University of California, Davis, is now doing the same for cow’s milk, with potential benefits both for human health and the U.S. dairy industry.

Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast have found that the spread of an exotic parasite that threatens the UK’s honey-bee population could be speeded up by global warming.

University of Adelaide-led research will help pinpoint the impact of waves on sea ice, which is vulnerable to climate change, particularly in the Arctic where it is rapidly retreating.

For three years, the Beagle supercomputer has driven University of Chicago biology and medical research into new computational territories, fueling groundbreaking research in genomics, drug design, and personalized medicine. Now, with a $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, UChicago’s high-performance computing resource for biomedical research is ready for an upgrade that will enable the next wave of pioneering discoveries.

Iowa State professor using science to improve interrogations.

Working in conjunction with customer, Daimler AG, Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed an automated in-line matrix elimination technique that simplifies the determination of trace sodium in non-water-miscible liquids such as diesel, biodiesel, and regular petroleum fuels.

Freeman Technology has published a new white paper that describes extensive experimental studies examining the multiple mechanisms that lead to powder caking. Caking is a routinely encountered problem within powder handling applications which compromises productivity and increases waste.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has developed a simple, reliable and robust method for detecting dissolved gases in water using a gas chromatograph equipped with an autosampler and an electron flame ionization detector (FID).

Turkey skin inspires researchers to create a new sensor that changes color when exposed to volatile chemicals

One of the most mysterious forms of life may turn out to be a rich and untapped source of antibacterial drugs.
