Scientists have discovered a bacterium capable of binding sand and creating a sustainable bio-cement for construction.

This work compares the effectiveness of different biogrout agents to improve the mechanical properties (strength and stiffness) of two sandy soils. Based on the results of unconfined compressive ...

Scientists have shown that a notorious hospital fungus has learned to survive on human skin by feeding on carbon dioxide released at the surface. That metabolic edge helps it persist where infections ...

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

Smart nanogels powered by enzymes move through dense tissue by adapting to local conditions, offering a safer and more effective alternative for targeted delivery in complex environments. (Nanowerk ...
