Using remote sensing technology, scientists have been investigating the dramatic acceleration in loss of the Russian ice cap,which changed from 2 inches to 82 feet per day.

Scientists now have a better way to investigate how decomposing plants’ and animals’ contribute to the ecosystem.

Scientists have discovered molecules of fat in an ancient fossil to reveal the earliest confirmed animal in the geological record that lived on Earth 558 million years ago.

This article explores the current state of play within the area of cancer proteomics, highlights some of the techniques used to investigate the proteome, and looks at the impact of combining proteomics with other ‘omics’ in relation to cancer research.

Antimicrobials have revolutionized medicine by enabling treatments for diseases that would once have proven fatal, however,they have since proven to be a double-edged sword.

Many recent advances in research have aimed to maximize the amount of data we can produce. But handling all that data is a challenge, and in analytical chemistry, data has more complexity and value than everyday spreadsheets, and tools matching that complexity will be needed to get data back into shape. We discussed how the field should approach these challenges with Andrew Anderson and , Graham McGibbon of Toronto-based analytical software supplier ACD/Labs.

Bacteriophage (phage) are obligate intracellular viruses that specifically infect bacteria. Here we take an overview of their structure, life-cycle and the role they have played in advancing science and medicine.

They say 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' Is this true for cell images?

Against a background where analysts in the pharmaceutical industry are increasingly looking for accurate, easy-to-use and scalable methods, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has become established as a leading technique.
