Experiments at Berkeley Lab confirm that structural defects at the periphery are key in catalyst function

A new method for controlling the DNA duplication process makes it possible to shrink the current desktop machines to handheld devices which could be used in the field to provide early diagnosis of a wide range of infectious diseases

Electrochemical technique traps up to 24 percent of nickel in metal-rich seawater in one week

Using the evolutionary technique ALE, scientists have now engineered E. coli cells into producing large quantities of serine, which is used in detergents, tube feeding formula, and as building blocks for many important chemicals

Finding may help researchers fine-tune metal-oxide catalysts to enhance energy storage technology

Researchers were able to create ST12-germanium in a large enough sample size to confirm its characteristics and useful properties

For the first time, light is used to specifically design defined molecule chains

Researchers found that they could successfully express the reductase component of the nitrogenase enzyme alone in the bacterium Azotobacter vinelandii and directly use this bacterium to convert CO₂ to CO

The work is the first example of a reaction that employs light to activate new reactivity in an existing enzyme

Researchers demonstrated that confocal laser scanning microscopy and image analysis can rapidly capture a series of pictures showing the ice crystals growing

Engineering team uses electricity to remove dangerous metal
