Researchers at the University of Freiburg have succeeded in describing how so-called beta-barrel proteins are inserted into the membrane of mitochondria. The…
Despite the progress in the field of green LEDs and lasers, the researchers could not overcome the limit of 30% of indium content in the films. The reason for…
Since lasers were first developed, the demand for more adaptable lasers has only increased. Chiral nematic liquid crystals (CLCs) are an emerging class of…
For the first time, scientists have obtained direct, quantifiable observations of cloud seeding for increased snowfall — from the growth of ice crystals,…
For those who want to clarify fundamental questions in science to develop new theories, not only perseverance also funding is essential. The EU may not be able…
“In an energy system without fossil fuels, the fluctuations in electricity production from renewables must be balanced out,” says Dr. Christopher Hebling,…
Explosions produce unique patterns of injury seldom seen outside combat. They have the potential to cause life-threatening injuries and take a particular toll…
The team combined a computer model with 100 years of observations to tease out the fact that global sea-level rise is increasing the tidal range, or the…
A team of experimental and computational scientists led by Carnegie's Tim Strobel and Venkata Bhadram have synthesized a long sought-after form of titanium…
Researchers have proposed that Alzheimer's disease is caused by the buildup of a sticky protein called beta-amyloid. According to this 'amyloid hypothesis,'…
Salamanders have long served as valuable biological models for developmental, regeneration and evolutionary studies. In particular, the Mexican axolotl…
To help policymakers make better, more informed decisions, there is an urgent need for more detailed information about the location and timing of pollutant…
An international team consisting of Russian and German scientists has made a breakthrough in the creation of seemingly impossible materials. They have managed…
Tufts University scientists said the sophisticated membranes can separate organic compounds not only by size–as small as a molecule–but also by their…
Graphite has been the default choice of active material for anodes in lithium–ion batteries since their original launch by Sony but researchers and…
In 1950, fewer than one-third of the world's people lived in cities. Today more than half do. By 2050, urban areas will be home to some two-thirds of Earth's…
