Engineering researchers developed a next-generation miniature lab device that uses magnetic nano-beads to isolate minute bacterial particles that cause diseases. Using this new technology improves how ...

In the ultra-sterile cleanrooms where NASA assembles spacecraft bound for other worlds, scientists have uncovered 12 ...

Researchers at MIT and UCSD are programming bacteria to detect cancer using a gene found in fireflies. In the future, these same bacteria may be used to eliminate the cancer as well detecting it.

Bacteria "pills" that can detect gut diseases could spell the end of painful colonoscopies, scientists say. Chinese researchers have developed a new sensor made of tiny microspheres packed with ...

These self-propelling microscopic particles use tailor-made viruses to recognize specific bacteria strains. The viruses bind to matching bacteria to form unique sandwich structures that are then ...

A researcher at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale is working on using artificial intelligence (AI) to detect the deadly pathogen Salmonella before it ever enters the food supply. Anas Alsobeh, ...

Now, researchers are turning to an unexpected source for early PDAC detection: faecal samples. While analysing poo might seem ...

On Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover has detected chemical signatures in rocks similar to those created by microbial life on ...
