When an electrical current passes through a wire it emanates heat – a principle that's found in toasters and incandescent light bulbs. Some materials, at low…
Technology under development at the University of New South Wales could offer new hope to farmers in drought-affected and marginal areas by enabling crops to…
Researchers at the University of Leeds and Leeds Metropolitan University believe the measures they have identified could eliminate many of the day-to-day…
The expensive solar cells now are used mainly on spacecraft, but with the improved wafer-slicing method, “the idea is to make germanium-based, high-efficiency…
The research, published in the September 15 issue of the Biophysical Journal, shows that when multiple viruses infect a cell, this increases the number of…
Paradoxically, its manufacture involves two other proteins — including one linked to mental retardation — that typically prevent proteins from being made.Previous research already established that long-term memory formation depends on Arc protein, but scientists did not know the mechanism that turned on this process. …
