The programs to develop these cells have been passed on ever since. The study which is published online by Nature Genetics has been supported by the GEN-AU…
With only one-fourth of the extra energy actually used to cool and freeze water, “there are substantial opportunities for efficiency improvements merely by…
The exploitation and utilization of new energy sources are considered to be among today's major challenges. Solar energy plays a central role, and its direct…
“It’s clear that sensors and computing are key to reducing the demand for electricity in office buildings,” said Yuvraj Agarwal, a research scientist in UC San…
Using human kidney cells and brain tissue from adult mice, Johns Hopkins scientists have uncovered the sequence of steps that makes normally stable DNA undergo…
Daniel Speiser, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Ecology Evolution and Marine Biology at UC Santa Barbara, studied mollusks that he collected in the…
Neuroscientists from Tufts University School of Medicine found that disruption of astrocyte function in fruit flies (Drosophila) led to altered daily rhythms,…
You can’t see them, or smell them or taste them. They can be in our water and in our food, multiplying so rapidly that conventional testing methods for…
Insects use their antennae for smelling and thus for locating resources in their environment. In an online first article published now, Max Planck researchers…
Drs Eva-Maria and Eckhard Mandelkow, researchers at the Max Planck Unit for Structural Molecular Biology at DESY (Hamburg) and at the German Center for…
The GPS collars will provide scientists with tracking data collected during the migration of the animals between their summer ranges at the base of the Pioneer…
For more than two decades scientists have suspected there’s another – possibly substantial – source of energy for mixing that’s generated in the ocean where…
For the study, researchers used MRI scans to measure areas of the brain in people with no memory problems or other signs of Alzheimer’s, then followed them for…
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly sensitive and versatile analytical tool that is widely used in biosensing applications. In conventional…
Transistors are commonly used in electronics as switches to turn an electrical current on or off. For applications that require a very large ratio between the…
When Gutenberg developed the principles of modern book printing, books became available to the masses. Hoping to bring technology capable of mass production to…
