Recent studies reveal that individual cells possess the ability to learn, refuting the idea that complex learning behaviors ...

Pathogens have distinct electrical charges, shapes and sizes. Measuring how quickly they move through an electric field can ...

Engineers and biochemists have brought their skills together to make it possible for untrained users to confirm contamination in fluids using a biogel test that changes color in the presence of such ...

A novel new test for bacteria in fluids makes it as easy as observing a color change to confirm the presence of ...

The Carnegie Microscopy Lab is a shared campus facility used primarily by the departments of Biology, Geology, Neuroscience, Physics, and Chemistry. During fall 2012 the lab acquired a new FE-SEM/EDS ...

Given their non-migratory nature within the mineralized matrix, their unique dendrites are crucial for cell-to-cell communication in response to both intracellular and extracellular stimuli, such as ...

Scientists at Queen Mary University of London and the University of Hong Kong have created a mouse with substituted genes ...

The latent HIV reservoir is a major barrier to HIV cure. Combining latency reversal agents (LRAs) with differing mechanisms of action such as AZD5582, a non-canonical NF-kB activator, and I-BET151, a ...

If the sample is clean, the color stays the same. The new process takes just hours, producing results much more quickly than lab cultures, which can take two days to generate results. "We've been ...

Beetles are an evolutionary success, with rove beetles' diversification largely due to their unique tergal gland that synthesizes defensive chemicals. This adaptation, evolving over millions of years, ...

Advances in cell and molecular biology have catapulted our understanding of the science of life from the basic understanding of how cells and the components of cells interact within living organisms.

The Robotic Systems Lab investigates the development of machines and their intelligence to operate in rough and challenging environments. With a large focus on robots with arms and legs, our research ...
