But what about a virus that doesn’t make people sick — just the bacteria that infects people, effectively destroying it? That’s what bacteriophages — or, simply, phages — are ...

Biofilms are an important, but incompletely understood, form of growth and survival for many bacteria. Recent evidence reveals that biofilms are structurally complex, dynamic systems that have ...

The new Ooni Halo Pro Spiral Mixer is the brand's first stand mixer release, and it's designed to create "stronger gluten networks for better dough using its unique dual-kneading action." ...

Rapid detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria is critical for ensuring food safety and preventing foodborne disease outbreaks. Traditional detection methods, while accurate, are often ...

In the quest to take the “forever” out of “forever chemicals,” bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but ...
