MICROBIAL ANALYSIS

Doctors fight germs every day, but lab tests can take days to grow bacteria or run costly DNA scans. A technology called FTIR offers a quicker way by scanning microbial molecules with infrared light, creating unique chemical fingerprints. Researchers reviewed 50 studies from the last decade to see h

Wastewater laced with phenol is a serious problem. It's tough to clean up using old-school methods. So, scientists decided to test out a new approach. They used a mix of sponge iron and activated carbon in a special reactor. This combo, called Fe&G, showed some impressive results. First off, Fe
