Scientists can now design fully synthetic bacteriophages, with potential to reshape the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As ...

Cells are incredibly adept at creating complex molecules, like therapeutics, and can do so much better than many of our best factories. Synthetic biologists look to re-engineer cells to make these ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham has developed a new method of surface engineering polymer soft-materials that has potential to accelerate ...

Demand for lithium is rising fast as electric vehicles, wind turbines, and grid-scale batteries ...

Also called "first-come, first served" (FCFS) queuing, FIFO is the simplest queuing method. Packets are placed into a single queue and serviced in the order they were received. Each packet is assigned ...

To help restore damaged bone, researchers are developing polymer scaffolds that can be implanted in the body to support the growth of new tissue. Poly(propylene fumarate), or PPF, is one of the few ...

Reliability allocation methods play a pivotal role in engineering, serving as the means by which system-level reliability requirements are systematically distributed among individual subsystems and ...

Organ failure impacts millions of patients each year and costs hundreds of billions of US Dollars. Over the last 30 years, scientists have utilized a combination of tools, methods, and molecules of ...

“Single-cell omics” is producing exciting biological data. The field measures how active every gene is in every cell of an organism and promises to yield valuable information on how our bodies work.
