When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

In a groundbreaking scientific development, a strain of bacteria that can produce pure gold has been discovered. This finding opens up new and exciting possibilities for gold extraction techniques ...

Biodegradable plastics could help alleviate the plastic waste crisis that is polluting the environment and harming our health ...

Rocketry, aviation, and shipping are powered by energy-dense fossil fuels that are hard to replace. Researchers headed by a team at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab and the Technical University Denmark now ...

Some bacteria are able to tap into unusual sources of nutrients in the surface water of the oceans. This enables them to increase their primary production and extract more carbon dioxide from the ...

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are working on engineering bacteria to convert chemicals derived from waste plastic bottles into L-DOPA, a key drug used to treat Parkinson’s disease. The ...

To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...

Aircrafts transport people, ship goods, and perform military operations, but the petroleum-based fuels that power them are in short supply. In research publishing on June 30 in the journal Joule, ...

Infinite vastness: Gases are constantly exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere. The study presented here shows how tiny marine organisms contribute significantly to the release of the ...

Aircrafts transport people, ship goods, and perform military operations, but the petroleum-based fuels that power them are in short supply. Researchers have found a way to generate an alternative jet ...
