Using microscopes and glowing fluorescent proteins, researchers have been able to examine the developing heart of zebrafish embryos coordinate the very first beat.

Dr. Alexandre Dumoulin joined Technology Networks' junior science editor Rhianna-Lily Smith for an exclusive interview to reveal more about their video.

In this episode we discuss environmental monitoring, regulations, and introduce the Applied Biosystems MicroSEQ™ Rapid microbial ID system.

Imagine using insects as a source of chemicals to make plastics that can biodegrade later — with the help of that very same type of bug. That concept is closer to reality than you might expect.

What does it mean to have cooked something? Most people are probably thinking cooking involves a heat source to break down proteins. But what about ceviche? No heat is used to “cook” it but it still undergoes a process where proteins are denatured.

Researchers led by Dr. Barbara Huber have recreated the ancient scent used in the mummification of an Egyptian noblewoman over 3,500 years ago. Dubbed “the scent of eternity,” it will be presented at Denmark's Moesgaard Museum.

Scientists report that aloe peels, often discarded as agricultural waste, can ward off bugs, acting as a natural insecticide. They have identified several bioactive compounds in extracts from the peels that deter insects from feasting on crops.

Take a musical journey through the challenges of sample preparation for small molecules, food testing, drug screening, and more. Each verse will show you how to go from sample preparation stress to success.

Check off all the things on your NIR wish list:

- Fourier Transform interferometer for exceptional wavelength accuracy? Check.
- Flexibility to switch between sampling vials, through baggies, or auto-sampling? Check.
- Temperature-controlled liquids module for superior precision? Check.
- Option to sample directly into a drum? Check.

Forever chemicals are extremely useful in industry, but they can also leak into the environment, your drinking water and your blood. And they last (practically) forever. But now chemists have a new way to destroy them: burning them with water.
