Less than a year after patenting a process that could improve stripping greenhouse gasses from industrial emissions, a University of Alabama engineering professor was recently granted another patent that uses a different solvent to accomplish the same goal.

Not when it comes to control of gene expression during dropsophila development.

It is a summer afternoon and dark clouds are rolling in. You notice that outside your laboratory windows the lightning strikes are getting closer. Your first thought is to back up your data. Your second thought is to shut down your $50,000 spectrometer so electrical surges from lightning strikes don’t kill the sensitive electronics.

With news reports of toxic cadmium-tainted rice in China, a new study describes a protein that transports metals in Arabidopsis plants and holds promise for developing iron-rich but cadmium-free crops.

Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute are developing a micro gas chromatograph for early detection of diseases in crops. 

Harvard Stem Cell Institute, initially just an idea, quickly became a generator of scientific discoveries.

Equipment unique to the University of Calgary gives researchers insight into industry and academic challenges.

Work aims to understand, abate pollution in China.

Important resource for speeding research and diagnostic development.

A simple, inexpensive spray method that deposits a graphene film can heal manufacturing defects and produce a high-quality graphene layer on a range of substrates, report researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and Korea University.

Ferroelectric materials–substances in which there is a slight and reversible shift of positive and negative charges–have surfaces that are coated with electrical charges like roads covered in snow.  Accumulations can obscure lane markings, making everyone unsure which direction traffic ought to flow; in the case of ferroelectrics, these accumulations are other charges that “screen” the true polarization of different regions of the material.

Research at Clemson University suggest that bicycling may make you happier.
