Providing the expanding population with healthy foodstuffs is an enormous challenge whose solution begins very early in the production chain. Besides familiar…
About half of the carbon dioxide that is produced by humankind, and which plays an important role in global warming, is taken up by seas and oceans. In…
The investigated proteins are called “phytochromes”. They consist of thousands of atoms and can be thought of as tiny, microscopic machines. These proteins are…
The specificity of this regulation originates in the binding interactions between special regulatory proteins, called transcription factors (TFs), and short…
For all the promise they have shown in the lab, polymer solar cells still need to “get on a roll” like the ones employed in printing newspapers so that large…
“We've looked for the usual suspects in the usual places and found no solid signals, so we've started searching in some creative new ways,” said Julie McEnery,…
The study used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure human brain activation. “Using fMRI data, we wanted to know if given a whole sentence,…
Add vortex ring freezing to that long list of “accidents.”
A nanocrystalline material that rapidly makes white light out of blue light has been developed by KAUST researchers.
The protein Interleukin-6 (IL-6) unleashes its different effects by binding with Interleukin-6 receptors (IL-6R). These receptors exist in two versions:…
How many times a cell undergoes cell division and how the two daughter cells are positioned after the division can be critical for shaping the animal. Although…
Researchers have developed a new fluorescence microscopy approach that significantly improves image resolution by acquiring three views of a sample at the same…
Conventional wisdom holds that carboxylic acids and saturated fatty acids, which are abundant throughout the environment, only react with hydroxyl radicals and…
Now, researchers at the Stowers Institute have identified a key molecule that directs stem cells in the planarian flatworm to make copies of themselves. The…
Venus may have had a shallow liquid-water ocean and habitable surface temperatures for up to 2 billion years of its early history, according to computer…
The researchers, who work collaboratively at the Marine Biological Laboratory's Whitman Center, published their results this week in the journal Optica.
