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.

Deployment project builds on earlier study’s optimistic results.

Canada’s largest integrated brain centre officially opened Feb. 27, uniting research and patient care to change the way brain disorders are treated and studied.

University of Adelaide researchers have developed a new web-based tool to help unlock the complex genetics and biological processes behind grapevine development.

Carnegie Mellon University's Metin Sitti Develops System for Replicating How Geckos Keep Webbed Feet Sticky and Clean.

Quality by Design (QbD) refers to the strategies developed and advanced by the US Food and Drug Administration, the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH), and the United States Pharmacopeia (USP),^1-5 based on scientific principles and risk assessment and focused on product and process understanding.

Some important news for those involved in the food science world.

For close to two decades, Cornell University scientists have developed processes for using polymers to self-assemble inorganic nanoparticles into porous structures that could revolutionize electronics, energy and more.

NSF and NNCO-funded independent study identifies more than $1 trillion in global revenue from nano-enabled products in 2013.
