A new compound made from tree resin kills almost 100% of drug-resistant bacteria without harming healthy tissue, laboratory studies suggest. Made into a film, this nanocellulose could be used as a ...

University of Pennsylvania researchers have developed a bioengineered chewing gum that sharply reduces HPV and two harmful bacteria linked to head and neck cancers in lab tests. The gum combines an ...

Scientists have developed a new test that can easily and quickly identify bacteria in any liquid, such as water, milk, or urine. This test uses a type of virus that only insects bacterial cells, ...

A robot smaller than a single bacterium can now chase down, capture, transport, and release live microbes in water, all ...

Engineers and biochemists have brought their skills together to make it possible for untrained users to confirm contamination in fluids using a biogel test that changes color in the presence of such ...

Microbiologists are on a quest to unravel a rare phenomenon involved in antibiotic resistance and how it may change our understanding of infections. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

A novel new test for bacteria in fluids makes it as easy as observing a color change to confirm the presence of disease-causing pathogens, promising much easier diagnostic tests and greater food ...
