A Florida State University scientist is part of a team of researchers that has developed a non-invasive way to "light up" animal cells, a development that could significantly advance cell-based therapies and pave the way for more effective cancer research in the long run.
Metrohm continues its philanthropic support and commitment to the advancement of science
– and young scientists – by celebrating its newest $10,000 award-winner, Linghong Zhang, at
PITTCON in Chicago, on Tuesday, March 4th.
Berkeley Lab researchers discover new rules for single-particle imaging with light-emitting nanocrystals.
While surfing the Web, consumers often see ads promising "one tip to a flat belly." But the real tip is accurate consumer information about the products that are being marketed.
As stem cells continue their gradual transition from the lab to the clinic, a research group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has discovered a new way to make large concentrations of skeletal muscle cells and muscle progenitors from human stem cells.
Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA) has made a gift of $1.5 million to the National Academy of Sciences to establish the National Academy of Sciences Award for Scientific Discovery in honor of RCSA's past president, John P. Schaefer.
The loblolly pine genome is big. Bloated with retrotransposons and other repetitive sequences, it is seven times larger than the human genome and easily big enough to overwhelm standard genome assembly methods.
Inspired by the space physics behind solar flares and the aurora, a team of researchers from the University of Michigan and Princeton has uncovered a new kind of magnetic behavior that could help make nuclear fusion reactions easier to start.
U of Utah engineers shrink plasma devices to resist radiation.
An advanced assay quickly illuminates bacteria for more rapid, accurate detection.
According to a recent article in the Kansas City Star, some scientists are accusing the U.S. government of only funding marijuana research that shows the ill effects of the drug.
As some countries and companies roll out new rules to limit animal testing in pharmaceutical products designed for people, scientists are stepping in with a new way to test therapeutic drug candidates and determine drug safety and drug interactions — without using animals. The development of “chemosynthetic livers,” which could dramatically alter how drugs are made, was presented at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society.
