Poisonous pesticide transformed into treatment against antibiotic-resistant bacteria Kumar Jeetendra | December 30, 2020 They are used as pesticides and fungicides. However, these substances could be poisonous to humans and cause mutations. As they aren’t frequently used, there’s little data about them in the medicinal chemistry literature. However, it has been suggested recently that the groups of substances that are traditionally avoided can help to fight pathogenic bacteria. Yet, …
Researchers grow better approach to screen electrostatic signs radiated by honeybees Kumar Jeetendra | May 5, 2021 Honeybees have a complex communication system. Between buzzes and body movements, they can direct hive mates to food sources, signal danger, and prepare for swarming – all indicators of colony health. And today, researchers are listening in. Scientists based in Germany – with collaborators in China and Norway – have developed a way to monitor …
New chemical interaction utilizes photocatalytic layer to eliminate steroid hormones Kumar Jeetendra | May 22, 2021 Micropollutants like steroid hormones contaminate drinking water worldwide and pose a substantial threat to human health and the environment even in smallest quantities. Until today, readily scalable water treatment technologies that remove them economically and sustainably have been lacking.
