A gentler and more efficient method to purify proteins with light
Proteins play a key role in the life sciences—from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method that relies on physics rather than conventional chemistry to obtain the proteins that are needed for this purpose.
Chlorine plus UV light can detoxify water affected by harmful algae blooms
Treatment plants use a combination of tools to keep toxins and contaminants out of drinking water. Researchers with the University of Cincinnati have examined two such tools in addressing a toxin produced by harmful algae blooms, which are becoming increasingly common in waters around the world.

UV light treats beet disease and combats fungicide resistance
Germicidal ultraviolet light is effective at killing a damaging fungus that infects table beets, adding an important organic tool to fight the growing problem of fungicide resistance, according to a new Cornell study.
