According to Dr Kerry Hanson, a senior research scientist in the university's department of chemistry, the problem arises whe...Better Ice Creams And Artificial Snow, Courtesy Bacteria
Queen's University biologist Virginia Walker has discovered a method that makes better ice cream and artificial snow by using bacteria. The method can also help in water// purification techniques. Until now, scientists had to go to extreme environments, such as Antarctic lakes and glaciers, to find bacteria with properties that allow them to survive at very cold temperatures. Dr. Wal...
