Scientists are working toward even stronger and more elastic glass types which would fail in a ductile fashion instead of shattering.

Teaching crop plants to concentrate carbon dioxide in their leaves could increase photosynthetic efficiency by 60 percent and yields by as much as 40 percent, researchers report in a new study.

Recent perspective paper in Meat Science cautions about uncertainties in scientific evidence

The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT), a non-profit scientific society of food scientists, technologists and related professionals from academia, government and industry, today announced that registration for the IFT Annual Meeting & Food Expo® in New Orleans, June 21-24 at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center, is now officially open.

A site has been designated for a Black Hills State University Underground Campus at the 4,850-level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead.

After a decade of debate, Brandeis University scientists have a clear picture of a controversial protein.

Lab success doesn’t always translate to real-world success. A team of Michigan State University scientists, however, has invented a new technology that increases the odds of helping algae-based biofuels cross that gap and come closer to reality.

The ability to locate and count small numbers of impurity atoms could lead to advances in modern electronics and optical fiber communication networks.

Before doctors like Matthias Kretzler can begin using the results of molecular research to treat patients, they need science to find an effective way to match genes with the specific cells involved in disease. As Kretzler explains, finding that link would eventually let physicians create far more effective diagnostic tools and treatments.

The viability of the bioenergy crops industry could be strengthened by regulatory efforts to address nonpoint source pollution from agricultural sources. That, in turn, means that the industry should be strategic in developing metrics that measure the ability to enact positive changes in agricultural landscapes, particularly through second-generation perennial crops, according to a paper by a University of Illinois expert in bioenergy law.
