Engineers at UCLA have developed a cost-effective cell-phone attachment that can detect the presence of the bacterium E. coli in food and water. FINDINGS: Researchers…
A recent study by researchers at the Kavli Institute for Particle Physics and Cosmology (KIPAC) suggests that for every typical star in our galaxy, there…
Scientists at Newcastle University have developed a new “super” biofilm using a key component from Earth’s stratosphere. By using Bacillus stratosphericu, bacteria normally found 20…
Out of the 750,000 different species of insects covering Earth, there are about 14,000 that feed on blood, getting their sustenance by puncturing the skin…
Pesticide- and antibiotic-free meat fetch premium prices, but a recent study has shown that there is still a prevalence of one of the world’s most…
In Indian hospitals, over 50% of bacterial infections are now resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Surveys have shown that many widespread pathogens in India are…
MIT researchers are studying how viruses use bacteria to support the replication of their own DNA. Viruses in phosphorus-starved regions of the ocean are able…
A controversial study from 2010 was relatively refuted by a group of scientists, trying to duplicate the findings that were published in Science. Researchers have…
A newly published study shows that many autistic children harbor Sutterella bacteria in their digestive tract, contrary to non-autistic children. While this research provides a…
