Molecular drills can target and destroy deadly bacteria that have resistance to nearly all antibiotics

Rice, Texas A&M-led research shows motors kill bacteria, revive some antibacterial drugs Molecular drills have gained the ability to target and destroy deadly bacteria that have evolved resistance to nearly all antibiotics. In some cases, the drills make the antibiotics effective once again. Researchers at Rice University, Texas A&M University, Biola University and Durham (U.K.)

A large scale expansion in bioenergy crop production could be just as detrimental to biodiversity as climate change itself

A large scale expansion in bioenergy crop production could be just as detrimental to biodiversity as climate change itself, according to new research. The study, which involved expertise from Durham University’s Department of Biosciences, investigated the potential impacts of future climate and land-use change on vertebrate biodiversity across the planet. The authors argue there is

New low-cost aerogel insulation the size of a family car weighs less than a kilogram

A team of international scientists have created a new form of highly-efficient, low-cost insulation based on the wings of a dragonfly. The material, known as an aerogel, is the most porous material known to man and ultralight, with a piece the size of a family car weighing less than a kilogram. Starting out as a wet

Helium shortage averted for now via a new exploration technique

New exploration technique by Oxford and Durham universities finds significant Helium reserves A new approach to gas exploration has discovered a huge helium gas field, which could address the increasingly critical shortage of this vital yet rare element. Helium doesn’t just make your voice squeaky – it is critical to many things we take for

New discovery could stimulate plant growth and increase crop yields

Scientists led by experts at Durham University have discovered a natural mechanism in plants that could stimulate their growth even under stress and potentially lead to better crop yields. Plants naturally slow their growth or even stop growing altogether in response to adverse conditions, such as water shortage or high salt content in soil, in
