An injectable biomaterial gel may help brain tissue grow at the site of a traumatic brain injury, according to findings by a Clemson University bioengineer.

Johns Hopkins engineers have devised innovative computer software that can sift through hundreds of genetic mutations and highlight the DNA changes that are most likely to promote cancer.

Solar cells could soon be produced more cheaply using nanoparticle “inks” that allow them to be printed like newspaper or painted onto the sides of buildings or rooftops to absorb electricity-producing sunlight.

Mention rosemary, thyme, clove, and mint and most people think of a delicious meal. Think bigger...acres bigger.

In an advance toward the first portable device for detecting human bodies buried in disasters and at crime scenes, scientists today report early results from a project to establish the chemical fingerprint of death.

Overfishing Reduced In Several Regions Around The World.

Research demonstrates that computing in living cells is feasible, opening the door to a number of applications. The second-generation bacterial computers show the feasibility of extending the approach to other computationally challenging math problems.

Researchers have for the first time produced a malarial protein (Pfs48/45) in the proper conformation and quantity to generate a significant immune response in mice and non-human primates for use in a potential transmission-blocking vaccine.

The Rosetta Stone of bacterial communication may have been found. Although they have no sensory organs, bacteria can get a good idea about what's going on in their neighborhood and communicate with each other.

A new prostate cancer "homing device" could improve detection and allow for the first targeted treatment of the disease.
