Mechanism revealed for spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria
May 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus is widespread and generally harmless, but can cause infections known as "opportunistic infections". These occur when the bacteria take advantage of certain situations, such as a weakened immune system or the presence of an open wound, to cause a harmful...
Drones and machine learning help reveal the scale of plastic pollution
May 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Plastic pollution is a major global issue but grasping the scale of the problem can be challenging. In a recent study (Scientific Reports, "Mapping riparian zone macro litter abundance using combination of optical and thermal sensor"), researchers from the University of Tsukuba developed a novel...
