Virus-built silver appears much more effective against bacteria than commercial silver. In A Nutshell Lab safety tests showed ...

Bioscientists turn bacteria into self-assembling building blocks. The macroscale engineered living materials they form could be used to soak up targeted contaminants from the environment or as custom ...

The Lab Report: Every week, the Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. When a population of bacteria is large enough, individual ...

To meet the ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, the U.S. is going to have to get creative with renewable energy. We can double down on long-established technologies like wind, geothermal, ...

“Mirror bacteria” made in a lab could endanger all life on earth, an international group of leading scientists have warned in a new report. All building-block molecules of life like DNA, proteins and ...

Bacteria use a wide range of immune pathways to counter phage infection. A subset of these genes shares homology with components of eukaryotic immune systems, suggesting that eukaryotes horizontally ...

Many everyday chemicals can damage beneficial gut bacteria and potentially fuel antibiotic resistance, prompting calls to ...

New research shows that 'hacking' the communication channels between microbes in the mouth could boost levels of beneficial ...
