Nucleic acid manipulation
A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids or gases), or sometimes slurries, by mechanical action. Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the method they use to move the fl...
Polymer capacitors, are types of electrolytic capacitor with conductive polymer as solid electrolyte (cathode). These electrolytic capacitors with conductive polymer (PEDT for example) and polymeri...

A microbial fuel cell (MFC) or biological fuel cell is a bio-electrochemical system that drives a current by using bacteria and mimicking bacterial interactions found in nature. MFCs can be grouped...
Transgenic plants have genes inserted into them that are derived from another species. The inserted genes can come from species within the same kingdom (plant to plant) or between kingdoms (for exa...
A metabolic disorder occurs when abnormal chemical reactions in your body disrupt this process. When this happens, you might have too much of some substances or too little of other ones that you ne...

Nuclear quadrupole resonance spectroscopy or NQR is a chemical analysis technique related to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).[1] Unlike NMR, NQR transitions of nuclei can be detected in the absenc...
Melanoma (Listeni/ˌmɛləˈnoʊmə/; from Greek μέλας melas, "dark")[1] is a type of skin cancer, which form from melanocytes (pigment containing cells in the skin).[2] In women, the most common site...
Heart assist device
The original catalyst was HCo(CO)4, discovered by Otto Roelen.[2][3] Subsequent work demonstrated that the ligand tributylphosphine (PBu3) improved the selectivity of the cobalt-catalysed process. ...
A fixture is a work-holding or support device used in the manufacturing industry.[1][2] Fixtures are used to securely locate (position in a specific location or orientation) and support the work, e...

Endocytosis is an energy-using process by which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) by engulfing them. It is used by all cells of the body because most substances important to them are large ...
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) (or carbon capture and sequestration) is the process of capturing waste carbon dioxide (CO 2) from large point sources, such as fossil fuel power plants, transport...
Ovarian cancer is when cancer forms from the ovary.[1] It is due to the development of abnormal cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body.[2] Early on there is ofte...
Branched chain aminotransferase is an aminotransferase enzyme which acts upon branched-chain amino acids. It uses largely α-ketoglutarate in forming branched chain α-keto acids and glutamate.
O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase (also known as AGT, MGMT or AGAT) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene.[1][2] O6-methylguanine DNA m...
