The pharmaceutical industry has withdrawn from the ‘antibiotic space.’ Is it time for research universities to step in?

A fly’s sense of smell could be used in new technology to detect drugs and bombs, new University of Sussex research has found.

Lake Erie has become increasingly susceptible to large blooms of toxin-producing cyanobacteria since 2002, potentially complicating efforts to rein in the problem in the wake of this year's Toledo drinking water crisis, according to a new study led by University of Michigan researchers.

Sandia invents sensor to learn about fit; system to make fit better.

In a one-of-a-kind funding program designed to spark innovative research without traditional peer review, University of Michigan professors spun their MCubed seed money into millions more.

University of Haifa researchers find a functional link between the brain region responsible for taste memory and the area responsible for encoding the time and place we experienced the taste.

ExxonMobil Corporation is establishing an advanced biofuels research program at Iowa State University.

Study Shows Feasibility of Treating Clostridium difficile Infection With Oral Administration of Frozen Encapsulated Fecal Material

Biomedical engineering researchers have developed a drug delivery system consisting of nanoscale “cocoons” made of DNA that target cancer cells and trick the cells into absorbing the cocoon before unleashing anticancer drugs. The work was done by researchers at North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
