Description:: Three in ten people worldwide lack access to a safely managed source of drinking water, with one in ten lacking access to a drinking water service altogether. This is projected to worsen in the coming years as climate change, infrastructure degradation, and poor governance work to further increase global water...

Description:: Ensuring adequate water quality is essential for human health and for effective allocation of resources in agriculture, energy, and manufacturing. However, the current state-of-the-art for water quality testing requires expensive equipment and technical expertise to analyze samples and takes days to obtain results from off-site labs, making it inaccessible to...

Description:: The Escherichia coli ribosome is a molecular machine capable of sequence-defined polymerization of -amino acids into proteins, a feat unmatched by any other current synthetic catalyst. It is complex in its structure, comprised of 3 RNA parts (the 5S, 16S, and 23S ribosomal RNAs) and 54 ribosomal proteins (r-proteins). Efforts...

Description:: Regulatory RNAs are found throughout nature controlling critical cellular processes and enabling cells to sense and respond to their environment. In order to provide genetic regulation, these RNAs can selectively bind to target molecules, proteins, and invading pathogens, all while modulating gene expression on both the transcriptional and translational level....
