Technical testings, researches and certifications

Certain sea sponges stay put with thin, hair-like anchors. How they bend without breaking is "surprising since they are essentially made of glass."

"We've produced a detailed snapshot—at atomic-level resolution—of the membrane of bacterial organelles."

Genes that aid in reproductive success also make people more prone to heart attacks, say scientists — a finding that will surprise few parents.

The research of Mary Caswell Stoddard, an assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton University, suggests that the shape of an egg for a bird of a given species may be driven in part by features of a bird's physiology related to its capability for flight.

In marine bacteria, evolution of new specialized molecules follows a previously unknown path.

At least 1.4 million seagulls feed at landfills across North America—and then dump 240 tons of nitrogen and 39 tons of phosphorus into nearby waters.

"Social jet lag," or having different sleep patterns on the weekends and weekdays, may have health consequences.

The Friendship Paradox says people on a social network tend to have fewer connections than their friends. New research extends this to happiness, too.

After tagging certain malaria parasite genes with bright colors, scientists could follow them through parasite's lifecycle. One was particularly vulnerable.

The research also found that women who had gonorrhea when they gave birth were nearly 20 times more likely to pass on CMV to their babies.

Stalagmites suggest California had a long stretch of wet weather 8,200 years ago. The findings hint at what could happen if today's glaciers melt rapidly.

Texting-based surveys capture purchasing and behavior data from people living in remote areas.

New algorithm generates practical paper-folding patterns to produce any 3-D structure.

A new way to make super light, strong, flexible steel could lead to safer, greener cars.
