A Rutgers-led team of scientists has developed an eco-friendly, very stable, ultra-bright material and used it to generate deep-blue light (emission at ~450 nm) in a light-emitting diode (LED), an ...

Discover how green light triggers antibiotics to fight bacteria, reducing antibiotic resistance and environmental impact.

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists from Rice University have found a type of bacteria that can survive by releasing electricity instead of relying on oxygen. These microorganisms use a ...

An international collaboration has achieved an important breakthrough in understanding the genetic mechanisms that allow bacteria to build resistance to drugs.

A groundbreaking plastic made with E. coli can be infinitely recycled and outperforms traditional fossil fuel-based plastics.

Researchers have created a versatile bactericidal nanomaterial with a photochemical 'light switch' to selectively target and combat different bacterial infections, including multi-drug resistant ...

Scientists Moungi Bawendi, Louis Brus and Aleksey Ekimov won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery of tiny clusters of atoms known as quantum dots, widely used today to create ...

You may have always been told to wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing to keep cool in the summer. We did a simple science experiment to explain why.

Recent research shows how artificial light can disrupt courtship among glow-worms and fireflies that rely on bioluminescence to find mates.

(Science Trek music) JOAN CARTAN-HANSEN, HOST: Light may have many colors but more importantly, Light has energy. Solar panels are made of small PV or photovoltaic cells or a similar technology.

Exotic bacteria species show promise as rare-earth element recyclers Researchers think they’ve found the ideal bacteria to recover wasted elements.
