Work could be used to create new functions for single-celled organisms that play important roles in drug discovery
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute have announced the development of the first stable semisynthetic organism. Building on their 2014 study in which they synthesized a DNA base pair, the researchers created a new bacterium that uses the four natural bases, which every living organism possesses.
Automating titration solutions means more than simply the titration results and calculations performed by automatic titrators. Sample preparation steps and operator independent sample series analysis must also be included.
"We have achieved 300-nanometer patterns, but we could easily make them as small as several tens of nanometers"
Researchers at EPFL's Laboratory of Photonic Materials and Fibre Devices have come up with a simple and innovative technique for drawing or imprinting complex, nanometric patterns on hollow polymer fibers. The potential applications of this breakthrough are numerous.
Those who have developed or grown up in an environment where a specific concept is the norm must remember that communication fails without a base understanding. Effective communication requires that one never assumes that the listener listens from the same mental place from which the speaker speaks.
A recent study found 10% of pipettes in use at a biomedical research facility were performing out of tolerance. Costs of these errors can run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Early results are promising, but additional testing is required before an FDA-approved therapy would be available
The key to fighting autism might lie not in the mind, but in the gut. A team of researchers is taking a novel approach in the search for effective autism treatments by focusing on improving the gut microbiome through fecal microbial transplants.
You'll never look at your morning coffee the same way again
The chemistry of the universe is, in a way, in your cup of coffee—from the evolution of caffeine as a defensive chemical weapon in plants to the swirling eddies of milk and coffee fueled by diffusion, Brownian motion, and other phenomena.
Handling gas cylinders present requires considerable effort and is cause for concern for many lab managers. This webinar discusses the benefits of onsite gas generation 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
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.
Electrochemical technique traps up to 24 percent of nickel in metal-rich seawater in one week
Researchers dipped electrodes made from galvanized steel into contaminated seawater and ran a weak current through it. Within seven days, up to 24 percent of the nickel it initially contained was trapped in a calcareous build-up of limestone.
The findings may settle a fundamental question in molecular biology and could help scientists develop new therapies for diseases such as cancer where abnormal amounts of protein accumulate
An internal code in cellular molecules called messenger RNA predetermines how much protein they will produce, scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine discovered in a new study.
Direct Sample Analysis by Compact Mass Spectrometry
Direct sample analysis is possible via an atmospheric solids analysis probe (ASAP) combined with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) on a compact mass spectrometer (CMS).
