Microbes Take Their Vitamins - for the Good of Science
Scientists have made a "vitamin mimic" - a molecule that looks and acts just like a natural vitamin to bacteria - that offers a new window into the inner workings of living microbes.
It Wasn't Hydrogen's Fault! May 6 Marks the 80th Anniversary of the Hindenburg Disaster
80 years after the Hindenburg disaster, it still influences perceptions about the use of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel, but hydrogen, like gasoline, can be handled and used safely.
Fungal Find Offers New Gateway into Bioenergy Research
A genetic modification in fungi is more common than has been thought, offering scientists a new tool as they explore the use of fungi to convert biomass to fuels, chemicals and enzymes.
