New research indicates Albert Hoffman was onto something in his search for medicines that led to LSD
Bicycle Day on April 19 honors not the two-wheeled mode of transportation, but the colorful ride taken by Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman who accidentally discovered LSD 74 years ago while trying to stabilize lysergic acid, a derivative of a fungal compound used in a migraine medicine.
While automated liquid handling systems offer greater reliability and reproducibility as they eliminate operator errors, they are not immune to error. In fact, their inherent complexity means there is still opportunity for errors to develop in the system.
Learn more about sources of liquid handling error, and how to avoid them.
Just three percent of psychology journals explicitly state that they accept replication studies, contributing to the replication crisis
Researchers in London have investigated 1,151 psychology journals and found that just three percent state that they welcome scientists to submit replication studies for publication.
Many managers recognize that properly handling mistakes is an attractive managerial quality, whether it is handling the mistakes of a subordinate or their own mistakes. If managers can perfect the art of handling mistakes properly, their credibility and reputation for talent management will increase.
CO2 incubators are designed to copy a cell’s natural environment with a relative humidity of around 95 percent, a temperature of 37°C and a pH of 7.2 to 7.5. and are most common in biology labs performing tissue or cell culture.
Influenza A viruses can cause devastating pandemics when they are transmitted to humans from pigs, birds, or other animals
To cross the species barrier and establish themselves in the human population, influenza strains must acquire mutations that allow them to evade components of the human immune system.
Cell generated power for 13 straight days through symbiotic interactions of two types of bacteria
Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York have developed the next step in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with the first micro-scale self-sustaining cell, which generated power for 13 straight days through symbiotic interactions of two types of bacteria.
Anatomic pathologists employ a variety of tools and procedures to analyze human organ and tissue specimens. For successful completion of the lab's sample prep and staining procedures, they rely on a supply of pure water.

This enzyme—known as Flap endonuclease 1, or FEN1—is often highly overexpressed or faulty in cancer and other types of diseases
Microscopes that reveal the hidden complexities of life down to the nanoscale level have shown in exquisite detail how an enzyme involved in DNA repair works its molecular magic.
Purchasing the right rotary evaporator for your lab might not be as straightforward as you think
Linda the lab manager and her team examine some of the features to consider when purchasing a new rotary evaporator for your lab in this Lab Manager video sponsored by IKA.
This webinar discusses the benefits of onsite gas generation, compares cylinder and gas generator usage, and demonstrates the advantages of switching to hydrogen carrier gas owing to declining helium supply.
As an attendee, you will learn more about:
Compressor technology advancements to increase reliability
How onsite generation enhances safety
Quality compliance with onsite generators
How larger capacity generators can solve helium supply issues
Bioactive foam can be molded to skull bone lost to injury, surgery, or birth defect
A team including researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is developing a new material that can be used to replace skull bone lost to injury, surgery, or birth defect. The bioactive foam is malleable when exposed to warm saline, allowing surgeons to easily shape it to fit irregular defects in the skull, where it hardens in place.
