“Single-cell technologies are already revolutionizing biology”, as LMU molecular biologist Professor Wolfgang Enard puts it. Enard and his group have now…
Now, a study published in the PLoS Biology offers a new tool to study this bacteria-host interaction. A research team from the Gulbenkian Institute of Science…
Without new materials with special luminescent and magnetic properties or a particular electrical conductivity, many of our modern technologies would not work….
First World countries have well-developed healthcare systems that employ medical regimens that have been empirically demonstrated to be effective. Despite…
The earliest true primates, called “euprimates,” lived about 55 million years ago across what is now North America. Two major fossil euprimate groups existed…
There is a global concern that the loss of biodiversity caused by people is impairing the functioning of our cultural and natural landscapes. In our forests,…
In a new paper in the journal mAbs, researchers at the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research (IBBR), a joint institute of NIST and the University…
Seagrass meadows could play a limited, localized role in alleviating ocean acidification in coastal ecosystems, according to new work led by Carnegie's David…
The immune system protects the human body against pathogens thus keeping it healthy. To achieve this, however, immune cells must be able to recognise intruders…
Scientists have discovered that an ice-binding protein (fcIBP) from the sea ice microalga does not fit in the conventional classification of ice-binding…
Sometimes, when experimental scientists get their hands on a supercomputer, it can change the course of their careers and open up new questions for exploration.
But research by Brown University scientists shows that computers fail miserably at a class of tasks that even young children have no problem with: determining…
These mutations arise because “typos” can occur as DNA replicates during cellular division. A recent analysis, which found that random mistakes in DNA play a…
A new protective metamaterial “cladding” prevents light from leaking out of the very curvy pathways it would travel in a computer chip.
Lithium-ion battery capacity can be vastly improved if, on the microscale, their electrodes have pores and channels. An interdigitated geometry, though it does…
Various mechanisms exist for cells to communicate with each other, and many are essential for development. A team of international researchers looked at how…
