Working backward: Computer-aided design of zeolite templates

The research is available online and will be featured on the June 21 cover of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Journal of Materials Chemistry A. The method allows chemists to work backward by first considering the type of zeolite they want to make and then creating the organic template needed to produce it.

Chip Identifies Bacterial Infection In Minutes, Not Days

Bacterial infections kill tens of thousands of North Americans every year. The fact it can take days to find out which bacteria are behind the infections and even longer to establish exactly which drugs will work, doesn't help. Now according to a new study, a chip that identifies bacteria in minutes promises to slash those timescales...
