6 Types of Tubes Used in Science Laboratories

A tube is one of the most common laboratory equipment. Lab tubes are normally found in science labs in their special-purpose racks. Labs use them to store conduct and materials to be used for experiment and research purposes. Tubes are also used for heating, cooling mixing chemicals. There are several types of laboratory tubes used for specific purposes.

Why Zombie Ants Do That Thing They Do

Zombie ants drop their jaws, not because of mind control, but because of muscular manipulation. Carpenter ants are known to 'transform' into zombie ants when infected by a parasitic fungus of the genus Ophiocordyceps that are also called zombie ant fungi.

Environmental Stress: Gene Theft by Red Algae From Bacteria

Scientists discover that red algae steal genes to fight environmental stress Think about stealing other's genes to improve one's own. This is the case that happened with ten species of red algae that stole approximately 1 percent of their genes from bacteria to incorporate with theirs to fight salt stress and toxic chemicals in hot springs.

Peptides Can Form Without Amino Acids

The results of the study may also be useful to the field of synthetic chemistry, as amide bond formation is essential for many commercially critical synthetic materials, bioactive compounds, and pharmaceuticals

A Unique Way to Make Complex Structures in Thin Films

The new technique had two different, inconsistent patterns with one forming a set of posts or lines etched on a substrate material, and the other is an inherent pattern that is created by the self-assembling copolymer

Black (Nano) Gold Combat Climate Change

By utilizing the methods of nanotechnology, the researchers transformed golden gold to black gold by changing the size and gaps between gold nanoparticles

A Unique Tool for Live-Cell Imaging

The biomolecules human immune systems deploy to find, tag, and destroy invading pathogens are the antibodies. Their work includes binding to specific targets, called epitopes, on the surfaces of antigens, like locks to keys. Scientists have, for so many years, exploited this selective tagging mechanism in natural antibodies to engineer antibody-based probes that let them purify and study different types of proteins within cells.

Synthesizing Chemical-Sensing Cells from Scratch

Researchers have discovered a way to make artificial cells interact with a wide range of chemicals It might be hard for so many to bake a cake from scratch, and another far-reaching story is constructing an artificial cell-like system from scratch.
