In silico analysis of five industrial microorganisms identifies optimal strains and metabolic engineering strategies for producing 235 valuable chemicals.

A research team, led by Professor Seungho Cho in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UNIST has unveiled a novel catalyst for the effective and simultaneous removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), precursor

Anthrax, an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, is often treatable in its early stages. But once the disease has progressed beyond the "point of no return" after just a few days, patients are almost certainly doomed.

As agricultural research continues to become more entwined with technology, smart farming—a phrase that encompasses research computing tools that help farmers to better address issues like crop disease, drought and sustainability—has quickly become a ubiq

Biomolecular condensates are shifting blobs in our cells that organize cellular matter. They are distinct molecular communities made of DNA, RNA and proteins that "condense" molecules to key locations, yet they frequently defy description. Partl

Most cells in the body send out little messengers called extracellular vesicles that carry proteins, lipids, and other bioactive molecules to other cells, playing an important role in intercellular communication. But healthy cells are not the only ones th

A study published in the Journal of Applied Ecology shows that the Upper Paraguay River Basin, which includes the Pantanal and its surroundings, could lose almost all of the areas suitable for anuran amphibians (toads, frogs and tree frogs) by the end of

Harmful microorganisms such as bacteria represent one of the largest threats to human health. Efficient sterilization methods are thus a necessity.

A research team led by Dr. Li Yunhai from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has uncovered a novel genetic mechanism that controls grain size and yield in rice, offering promising strategies to enh

Researchers at the University of Turku, Finland, have succeeded in producing sensors from single-wall carbon nanotubes that could enable major advances in health care, such as continuous health monitoring. Single-wall carbon nanotubes are nanomaterial con

Subalpine and boreal moorlands are ecosystems that contribute to climate stability by reducing excess carbon as well as acting to help regulate the climate—both invaluable properties in a time of advancing climate change. Therefore, understanding how to m

A research team has developed technology that could dramatically increase the lifespan and energy density of electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
