The honeybee's alarm signal may not only bring help, but also attract the small hive beetle. Now, an international team of researchers has found that small hive beetles can detect some alarm pheromones at levels below that ...
Georgia Tech will be the site of this year's RoboCup competition, with approximately 2,000 students and faculty from 20 nations participating.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have developed a sensitive new method for rapidly assessing the quality of carbon nanotubes. Initial feasibility tests show that the method not only is faster ...
Researchers at Purdue University have used a new technique to rapidly detect and precisely identify bacteria, including dangerous E. coli, without time-consuming treatments usually required.
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory are offering special "Antimatter Tours" on Sunday, April 23 and May 21, starting at 12:45 p.m. The two-hour program includes a 45-minute presentation ...
With current space travel limited to just a few robotic probes visiting nearby planets, how realistic is it to think about reaching the nearest stars? For the short term, not very – especially when we speak of manned missions. ...
U.S. researchers have developed a prototype of a tool that can fight terrorism by detecting nanogram-sized samples of explosives.
Some people are never satisfied. First, nanotechnology researchers at Cornell University built a device so sensitive it could detect the mass of a single bacterium--about 665 femtograms. Then they built one that could sense ...
Common house dust may be an important source of a potentially dangerous class of chemicals called polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), according to an exploratory study* by researchers at the National Institute of Standards ...
Highly Selective, Regenerable Perchlorate Treatment System, Advanced Heating System for High-Performance Aluminum Forgings and SniffEx are the three inventions receiving Research and Development 100 awards this year Researchers ...
