- New material can protect against resistant bacteria
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a new material that prevents infections in wounds - a specially designed hydrogel, that works against all types of bacteria,...
- New family of chemical structures can effectively remove CO2 from gas mixtures
The zeolites - crystalline aluminosilicates with frameworks that contain windows and cavities the size of small molecules - can separate out carbon dioxide more effectively from fuel gases than tho...
- X-ray laser reveals chemical reaction
What happens when a chemical bond is broken? That question was recently answered with the help of a so-called free electron x-ray laser, which makes it possible to follow in real time how bindings ...
- Genetic protection against arsenic
Evolution has not only controlled human development over millions of years, it also has an impact on modern man. This is one of the conclusions of a study of Argentinian villagers in the Andes, whe... - Phthalates in PVC floors taken up by the body in infants
A new study at Karlstad University in Sweden shows that phthalates from PVC flooring materials is taken up by our bodies. Phthalates are substances suspected to cause asthma and allergies, as well ...
- Laser makes sure food is fresh
Minced meat, bread, fruit juice and many other foods are packaged in a protective gas which extends their shelf life. There is currently no good method to check whether the packaging has the correc... - Proteins find their way with address label and guide
Most newly produced proteins in a cell need to be transported to the proper place before they can be put to work. For proteins to find their way, they have a built-in signal linked to them, a kind ...
- Multi-resistant skin bacteria spreading in hospitals
Genetically closely related skin bacteria that have developed resistance to several different antibiotics and that can cause intractable care-related infections are found and seem to be spreading w... - Melting DNA into a barcode
A completely new method for producing an image of individual DNA molecules' genetic make-up has been developed by researchers in Sweden and Denmark. The results are published in the latest issue of... - New conservation methods increase risk of food poisoning
In response to consumer demand for more natural food, the food industry has reduced the amount of preservatives in food over recent years. A common preservative is acetic acid, which is used to sto...
- New method yields better dosage of blood-thinning drugs
Many biological processes are determined by how various molecules in substances recognize and bind to each other. One such example is our immune defense, which is governed by molecules, called anti... - New DNA method makes it easier to trace criminals
DNA samples often convict criminals. But many of today's forensic tests are so polluted by soil, tobacco and food remains, for example, that they can not be used. Now researchers at Lund University... - New nanomethod paves the way for new measuring technology and hypersensitive sensors
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a new measurement technology that makes use of optical resonances in nanoparticles. The method, which opens new possibiliti... - Bioinformatic reconstruction of global networks provides shortcuts to protein functions
Researchers at the Stockholm Bioinformatics Center in Sweden have developed bioinformatic methods for reconstructing global networks of proteins and genes that interact with each other functionally...
