Currently, tests to detect the presence of infection or disease require a sample of blood from a patient, which is later analyzed in a laboratory to detect markers of disease

Both chili peppers and ginger are widely used spices in certain cuisines, particularly in Asia, and have been studied for potential health effects

The work focuses on rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries, which are used in cell phones, electric cars, laptops, and many other electronics

Rice University scientists improve method to pull greenhouse gas from natural gas streams

Short of carrying an external battery all the time, is there any way to extend the life of your smartphone battery?

The measurement tool, known as the Materials Analysis Particle Probe (MAPP), was built by a consortium that includes Princeton University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Their findings reverse what has been accepted thinking in crystallography for more than 100 years

While police are trying out potential tools, no device currently on the market has been shown to quickly provide a precise measurement of a driver's marijuana intoxication as effectively as a breathalyzer gauges alcohol intoxication

The chemists attach luminescent compounds to tiny gold structures to form biologically safe ‘nanoagents’ that are attracted to calcium-rich surfaces, which appear when bones crack—even at a micro level

To understand how molecules undergo light-driven chemical transformations, scientists need to be able to follow the atoms and electrons within the energized molecule as it rides on the energy "roller coaster"

The new method will help break the stranglehold of carbon-hydrogen bonds present in the chemical feedstocks used to make bioactive molecules

Studies of the neutrinos emitted in the radioactive decay of nuclei held in an ion trap allow sensitive searches for new interactions
