In recent years, anthrax has become a top choice as a biological warfare agent, according to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), because its spores can easily become airborne. Early studies show that a new mucosal vaccine against anthrax has the potential to provide military personnel with more effective and efficient protection against a “popular” bioweapon. [...]

Bioavailable plastics known contain substances that can be absorbed by living systems during their normal physiological functions. But recently, it was revealed in ScienceDaily, that if research at Missouri University of Science and Technology is successful, the plastic bottles of the future could literally disappear within four months of being discarded. By combining and modifying [...]

ScienceDaily reported, a team of Japanese astronomers has discovered that our galaxy’items’ => 4,s central black hole let loose a powerful flare three centuries ago by using NASA, Japanese, and European X-ray satellites. This finding helps resolve a long-standing mystery: why is the Milky Way’items’ => 4,s black hole so quiescent? Black Hole is an extremely [...]

Hybrid cars are presently considered as very beneficial to the preservation of the environment. A hybrid car combines an electric motor and gasoline engine to provide sufficient power to the vehicle with least fuel usage and fewer emissions. They are also far more fuel-efficient than purely gas-powered cars, and far more practical for everyday [...]

Over the last two centuries, human activity has transformed the chemistry of Earth’s water and air. This time period brought so much widespread environmental change, and the major influence surely is the use of fossil fuels. Fossil Fuels, is an energy-rich substances that have formed from long-buried plants and microorganisms. It include petroleum, coal, and [...]

Scientists from British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Durham University and Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) studying three glaciers in the Amundsen Sea Embayment. These place known as region currently the focus of intense international scientific attention because it is changing faster than anywhere else on the WAIS and it has [...]

During the 1918 pandemic outbreak, two mutations in the H1N1 avian flu virus were critical for viral transmission in humans that killed at least 50 million people. Ram Sasisekharan, the Underwood Prescott Professor of Biological Engineering and Health Sciences and Technology mentioned that, two mutations dramatically change the HA binding affinity to receptors [...]

It was published in Science Daily that Penn State researchers have a proof-of-concept device that can split water and produce recoverable hydrogen. Thomas E. Mallouk, the DuPont Professor of Materials Chemistry and Physics said, if we can achieve catalytic systems with 10 to 15 percent solar conversion efficiency, water photolysis would provide a clean source of [...]

It was revealed in ScienceDaily that researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a strategy to capture, store and eventually recycle carbon. It is known that two-thirds of global carbon emissions are created by much smaller polluters — automobiles, transportation vehicles and distributed industrial power generation applications (e.g., diesel power generators). So, Georgia Tech [...]

Escherichia coli. What do this words mean for you? Food poisoning? Product recalls? Well, a professor in Texas A&M University’s chemical engineering department envisions the bacteria as a future source of energy. Wow, how can it be? Thomas Wood, a professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering has completed a genetic modification to tweaked [...]
