When you hear terms such as gene editing or CRISPR, the first thing that comes to mind is probably straight out of a sci-fi novel. However, gene technology, CRISPR for example, is very real, and at the forefront of modern medical science. As with many new medical technologies, it may seem simple on the surface.

DNA sequencing is the process of determining the sequence of nucleotide bases in a piece of DNA. While this may sound straightforward, the process is a complex with several steps and chemical analyses. Researchers across multiple fields and industries utilize this method, offering a wide range of uses and applications. Researchers frequently use it in

There are plenty of factors that can ruin an experiment, or render a product unusable. In addition to user error, many months of research can be destroyed if the material is contaminated. Even microscopic airborne particles can destroy particularly sensitive tests, which is why many labs include extremely sanitized environments. Maintaining a sterile environment isn’t

Few places in an office are as important as a break room. Everyone needs a place to recharge and rest, and a well-designed office breakroom is a perfect way to show employees how much they are valued. Beyond their obvious purpose, break rooms are the centerpiece of an office. These spaces are the perfect place

Physical chemistry is one of the most advanced and specialized branches of chemistry. The equipment needed to perform physical chemistry analysis and experiments is equally advanced and specialized, and will not be found in a general chemistry lab. Instead, physical chemistry is a science that requires its own laboratory space that’s customized with the devices

Organic chemistry is a highly specialized branch of science. The equipment needed to run organic chemistry experiments and analysis won’t be in a general chemistry lab. Rather, organic chemistry requires specialized laboratory equipment in a dedicated lab space. Whether you’re thinking about putting together an organic chemistry lab or renovating existing lab space for organic

In the realm of science, it takes a special place to perform certain research. There are very few one-size-fits-all laboratories. Instead, most laboratories are built to accommodate a specific type of research. One such type of lab is the biochemistry lab, which, as its name implies, is focused on facilitating our understanding of the chemical

Most people know a bit about chemistry and some of its basic principles, but chemistry has many subdivisions that are less familiar. In the broadest sense, chemistry is the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of elements, molecules, and compounds. Chemists study the transformations that these substances undergo. They are interested in

As solar power is becoming the standard for renewable energy efficiency, more folks are researching which options best generate solar power. Currently, the solar industry offers two types of technologies for solar power: Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP). Here, we will be comparing Photovoltaic and Concentrated Solar Power technology systems. Concentrated Solar Power
