Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the human gut, could spread as quickly as swine flu, new ...

Beneath the ocean’s surface, bacteria have evolved specialized enzymes that can digest PET plastic, the material used in bottles and clothes. Researchers at KAUST discovered that a unique molecular ...

Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school.

Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels.

A vaccine that tackles the bacteria that cause up to 200 million childhood infections every year could be possible, experts say.

Research on quercetin and omega-3-loaded LHNs reveals their potential in reducing biofilm formation and supporting skin cell ...

Caltech researchers have reintroduced a classic technique to image the formation and growth of individual cells that make up biofilms, sticky masses of millions of cells that are often responsible for ...

A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.

Abstract: We evaluated and designed the canted angle and magnetic properties of canted spin-orbit torque (SOT) MRAM cells fabricated in a 300mm CMOS fully compatible process. In the results, we ...

Many bacteria produce proteins with antibacterial properties. However, owing to their reliance on a specific surface receptor for target cell entry, all known antibacterial proteins (ABPs) are only ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have discovered a previously unrecognized mechanism by which Staphylococcus aureus—one of the most common causes of skin and soft ...
