The new method could also be used to remove bacteria and viruses without chlorination or ultraviolet treatment.

Collaboration is not something that leaders can expect to happen naturally in a work environment. Rather, managers need to interact strongly with staff in order to create a collaborative environment.

The two ends of this DNA “rubber band” contain two anchoring moieties that can specifically stick to a target antibody.

Before a transplant, a patient is first given doses of radiation, sometimes in combination with drugs, to kill off any existing stem cells in the patient’s bone marrow.

Capacity fade is the reason why a cell phone battery that used to last a whole day will, after a couple of years, last perhaps only a few hours.
