Bioengineered formatotrophic E.Coli can be utilized to efficiently generate biomass from electricity. A popular direction for cleantech in recent years is that of biorefineries, that use living organisms to supply the human demand for chemical commodities. Electricity is considered to be a potential.....

Polyacenes are actually a chain of benzene rings (see figure). It is widely believed that polyacenes would have unprecedented properties: non-linear optics, substantial mechanical strength (similar to Kevlar™) and high directional (anisotropic) conductivity; i.e. conductive in one dimension/directio.....

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science describe a novel oligonucleotide, also known as an Aptamer, which has been designed to complement the receptor-binding region of the influenza haemagglutinin molecule. It was constructed by screening a DNA library and processing by the SELEX procedure......
