Physics professors Taekjip Ha and Yann Chemla and combined their expertise in single-molecule biophysics – fluorescence microscopy and optical traps,…
Rice, which is sensitive to drought due to its high water requirement, is particularly vulnerable to how global climate change is altering the frequency and…
Researchers in the university's Faculty of Science & Engineering studied a tiny strand of our genetic makeup known as a MicroRNA, involved in the regulation of…
Its recent turmoil is particularly newsworthy because the Sun was very quiet for an unusually long time. Astronomers had a tough time explaining the extended…
Male fruit flies of the Drosophila melanogaster species perform a complex courtship ritual to attract the attention of female flies and make them amenable to…
As explained in a recently published study, a Penn research team was able to create high-quality graphene that is just a single atom thick over 95% of its…
While previous research showed a trend toward this same finding, this observational study used electronic health records, an automated pharmacy database and…
The gene for the protein p53 is the most frequently mutated in human cancer. It encodes a tumor suppressor, and traditionally researchers have assumed that it…
Katarina Sjövall has studied partners of individuals with colorectal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer. The study shows that the number of…
Studies of the outermost parts of the cell walls of bacteria yield new information about the chemical composition of structures that are important for the…
They are characterised by nanostructured surfaces with pores measuring only a few nanometres in diameter. An international research team including Dr Daria…
Reporting in Nature, scientists from Thomas Jefferson University have determined that a single protein called FADD controls multiple cell death pathways, a…
The discovery of land in Florida during the early Eocene opens the possibility for researchers to explore the existence of land animals at that time, including…
Quantum computers are computers that exploit the weird properties of matter at extremely small scales. Many experts believe that a full-blown quantum computer…
Silicon optical chips are critical to the Air Force because of their size, weight, power, rapid cycle time, program risk reduction and the improvements they…
While studies have linked cigarette smoking to deficits in attention and memory in adults, UCLA researchers wanted to compare brain function in adolescent…
