• Aviation safety: Rapid test for harmful microbes in kerosene developed
  

  Fuels such as kerosene or diesel can be contaminated by fungi or bacteria. The microorganisms settle in the liquid itself, on the inner walls of tanks and pipes or in fuel filters and feed on carbon atoms. Since the fungi and bacteria multiply well in this environment, they can form a streaky biofil more

• New clues help explain why PFAS chemicals resist remediation
  

  The synthetic chemicals known as PFAS, short for perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are found in soil and groundwater where they have accumulated, posing risks to human health ranging from respiratory problems to cancer. New research from the University of Houston and Oregon State Univer more

• New device can measure toxic lead within minutes
  

  Rutgers researchers have created a miniature device for measuring trace levels of toxic lead in sediments at the bottom of harbors, rivers and other waterways within minutes - far faster than currently available laboratory-based tests, which take days. The affordable lab-on-a-chip device could also more

Microbots zoom around water, destroying bacteria

One day, the tiny robot you see here could help clean up contaminated water. In places where potable sources are scarce, they can destroy disease-causing bacteria in its path and unlike conventional disinfectants, the microbots can be removed easily with a magnet. more

• NASA Curiosity rover hits organic pay dirt on Mars

  Since NASA's Curiosity rover landed on Mars in 2012, it has sifted samples of soil and ground-up rock for signs of organic molecules—the complex carbon chains that on Earth form the building blocks of life. Past detections have been so faint that they could be just contamination. Now, samples taken more

• HPLC with non-specific detection in pharmaceutical quality control
  

  Impurity testing is an essential part of pharmaceutical quality control because toxicity and content of impurities contained in drug products can impair patient safety. This requires suitable, validated analytical methods. more
