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 ...

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 ...

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

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 ...

Researchers have successfully built the simplest artificial cell ever that can navigate using chemicals, much like living cells do. Chemotaxis is the essential navigation system cells use to find ...
