What are the differences between these two in terms of form and definition? I have a lab report due- I have a hypothesis, but I don't know how to write a prediction.
Lab on a chip (LOC) devices - microchip-size systems that can prepare and analyze tiny fluid samples with volumes ranging from a few microliters (millionth of a liter) to sub-nanoliters (less than a billionth of a liter) - are envisioned to one day revolutionize how laboratory tasks such as...
It is "imperative" that the U.S. build a large-animal biocontainment laboratory to protect animal and public health, says a new report by the National Research Council. Two options that could meet long-term needs include the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) as currently designed...
Almost a century after telephone pioneer Alexander Graham Bell first popularized the idea of measuring smells, chemical vapor sensors - "electronic noses" - are being developed for use in diagnosing disease, detecting national security threats, and other futuristic uses. A new episode in the...
In 1937, the notion of beaming radio waves off distant objects was barely more than speculation, yet in just six years the genius minds of AT&T's Bell Labs honed the technology into a potent weapon for the Allies. The Idea Factory by Jon Gertner discusses the fascinating history of the storied...
For years, researchers seeking new therapies for traumatic brain injury have been tantalized by the results of animal experiments with stem cells. In numerous studies, stem cell implantation has substantially improved brain function in experimental animals with brain trauma. But just how these...
My puppy is almost 9 weeks and wont stop crying when we go to work we leave around 7 and come home around 12 to let him out and then come home around 430 when we are off. We introduced him to the crate during the day he goes in and out when a treat is in there or toy. his bed is in there and he...
Hi I have a lab in Chemistry 12 where I have to design and conduct an analysis of precipitates that form from the reactions of salt solutions to identify unknown solutions X, Y and Z. We'll be given 2 mL of 10 different salt solutions such as MgCl2, NaCl, etc. Then we're also given 3 unknown...
One of the earliest known impairments caused by Alzheimer's disease - loss of sense of smell - can be restored by removing a plaque-forming protein in a mouse model of the disease, a study led by a Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researcher finds. The study confirms that the...
