Washington, June 4 : Medical researchers have developed a new approach to remove harmful microbes and viruses from drinking water, using a genetic tool.

Washington, June 4 : A scientist has determined that bioenergy can be the best realistic alternative to meet our current and future energy needs while cutting back on the use of fossil fuels.

Washington, June 4 : Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a new system that may help redefine the International unit of temperature.

Washington, June 4 : Unlike humans, bees from opposite ends of the Earth can easily communicate with each other, a new study has shown.

Washington, June 4 : Researchers from London have taken a major step in making the use of artificial veins and arteries in coronary bypass grafts a reality.

They have developed this artificial graft tissue by combining man-made materials with human cells to make it elastic and durable and so it can attach to host tissue.

"Obviously this advance could be a medical breakthrough that saves millions of lives around the world but even more tantalizing is the successful fusing of living cells to nonliving substances that actually—heal—by forming a stronger bond to each other and to host tissue once put in use. This might even be called a start toward 'cyborg engineering,'" said Gerald Weissmann, M. D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal.
