  • New Glow Stick Discovery could Help Detect Cancer

    Glow sticks used at concerts and worn by children may be a new key player in detecting cancer. Glow sticks use chemiluminescence, a.k.a. chemical light to create that bright glow. Researchers found that chemiluminescence can be used to diagnose diseases through identification of biological samples.

  • AEP Expands Energy Storage to Tap PJM Market

    The battery system was installed to help extend the life of electric distribution equipment in the area. With additional software, the utility now will be able to use the energy storage system to generate revenue.

  • Ductless Fume Hoods: A Versatile Solution for Laboratory Processing

    Whether designing a new laboratory or updating an existing one, laboratory managers need to consider safety, efficiency and cost-effectiveness when deciding on a fume hood design.

  • Baker's Yeast is the New Penicillin

    Biologists at Imperial College London have found a new way to produce penicillin. They have re-engineered yeast cells to produce nonribosomal peptide antibiotic penicillin, which helps fight against bacterial diseases. This yeast was shown to have antibacterial properties against streptococcus bacteria in laboratory experiments.
