Pesticides are used primarily in agriculture to control pests. However, they can also harm many beneficial animal, plant and fungal species that are not the target of the control. An international ...

In a breakthrough for the advanced study of gut health, scientists have developed a 3D microscopic version of the human intestines condensed into a small chip about half the size of a five-cent coin.

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...

Some bacteria have evolved to beat modern medication - but one natural kitchen cupboard item could be the key to stop them ...
