This work compares the effectiveness of different biogrout agents to improve the mechanical properties (strength and stiffness) of two sandy soils. Based on the results of unconfined compressive ...

Abstract: Conductometry is a widely used technique in enzyme studies as it allows researchers to monitor the activity of enzymes in solution. The determination of enzymatic activity, a time-dependent ...

Scientists have shown that a notorious hospital fungus has learned to survive on human skin by feeding on carbon dioxide released at the surface. That metabolic edge helps it persist where infections ...

The quantitative yield of agricultural products has increased significantly over the past 80 years, with nitrogen fertilizers representing a significant contributing factor. The global trade of ...

It was Prize Day in Oslo and Stockholm. Last week one German-born Swiss and six Americans won a batch of Nobel Awards: for Literature, Physics, Chemistry, and Peace* (see INTERNATIONAL). Conspicuously ...

In biocementation, the overall degree of cementation achieved is constrained by the successful completion of four individual, potentially rate-limiting steps: (i) adsorption of the biocatalyst urease ...

Smart nanogels powered by enzymes move through dense tissue by adapting to local conditions, offering a safer and more effective alternative for targeted delivery in complex environments. (Nanowerk ...

University of Waterloo researchers have created soft magnetic robots designed to dissolve kidney stones in the urinary tract. The system combines a motorized magnet on a robotic arm with real-time ...
