It is still unclear what the impact is on humans, animals and plants of synthetic nanomaterials released into the environment or used in products. It's very difficult to detect these nanomaterials in the environment since ...
More investment is needed to develop better analytical tests to measure, and therefore help control, the amount of toxic chemicals called organotins that enter the environment, according to a review published in Trends in ...
In a new paper published in Nature Chemistry, Dr. Lingbing Kong in Oxford University's Department of Chemistry takes an in-depth look at capsular polysaccharides, or 'sugar armour' – the outermost layer of bacteria that ...
Â鶹ÒùÔºicists and engineers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an optical sensor, based on nanostructured metamaterials, that's 1 million times more sensitive than the current best available—one capable of identifying ...
Researchers from the General Â鶹ÒùÔºics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (GPI RAS) and Moscow Institute of Â鶹ÒùÔºics and Technology (MIPT) have developed a new biosensor test system based on magnetic nanoparticles. ...
One of the most widely used commercial chemicals to kill bedbugs are not effective because the pesky insects have built up a tolerance to them, according to a team of researchers from Virginia Tech and New Mexico State University.
Migration isn't a new phenomenon, but new insights suggest that modern-day Europeans actually have at least three ancestral populations. This finding was published by Johannes Krause and prominently featured on the cover ...
(Â鶹ÒùÔº)—A group of researchers from the University of Göttingen, the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, and the University of Linz has determined the structure and origin of Jurassic period borolithochromes. ...
With increased legalization of marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes, interest is growing in the potential health effects of its secondhand smoke. A team now reports in ACS' journal Analytical Chemistry the development ...
The common cosmetic and drug preservatives known as parabens are in thousands of products—and, at low levels, in the vast majority of Americans. Recent studies have raised concerns that the compounds might have unwanted ...
