Hearty bacteria help make case for life in the extreme Posted: 19 Jan 2012 11:33 AM PST The bottom of a glacier is not the most hospitable place on Earth, but at least two types of bacteria happily live there, according to researchers. |
How protein in teardrops annihilates harmful bacteria: Novel technology reveals lysozymes have jaws Posted: 19 Jan 2012 11:33 AM PST A disease-fighting protein in our teardrops has been tethered to a tiny transistor, enabling scientists to discover exactly how it destroys dangerous bacteria. The research could prove critical to long-term work aimed at diagnosing cancers and other illnesses in their very early stages. |
Snakes improve search-and-rescue robots: New design uses less energy Posted: 19 Jan 2012 07:12 AM PST Researchers have studied the movements of snakes to create more efficient search-and-rescue robots. |
'Bubblegram' imaging: Novel approach to view inner workings of viruses Posted: 12 Jan 2012 12:16 PM PST Since the discovery of the microscope, scientists have tried to visualize smaller and smaller structures to provide insights into the inner workings of human cells, bacteria and viruses. Now, researchers have developed a new way to see structures within viruses that were not clearly seen before. |
