The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) takes only 100 milliseconds to trap its prey. Once their leaves, which have been transformed into snap traps, have…
Specifically, the researchers have succeeded in mathematically modelling the emergence and interaction between so-called “assemblies”.
An exabyte is a multiple of a byte; specifically, it equates to 1,0006 bytes. Looking ahead to 2022, experts predict that the monthly data traffic passing…
Almost all cells of the human body present fragments of cellular proteins on their surface, so-called human leukocyte antigens or HLA peptides, which play an…
Surrounding the remote continent of Antarctica, the Southern Ocean is one of the most important yet poorly understood components of the global carbon cycle.
One goal of science is to find physical descriptions of nature by studying how basic system components interact with one another. For complex many-body…
In the process, they made an unexpected discovery: myosin, one of the three main proteins that make up striated muscle fibers, appears to enter the Z-disc.
The new study, published in Nature Communications, focuses on a production method, based around mechanical abrasion, where multilayer structures are formed…
“Beam me up” is one of the most famous catchphrases from the Star Trek series. It is the command issued when a character wishes to teleport from a remote…
At NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, Colin Seftor, an atmospheric scientist, created an animation of the dust and aerosols from the…
A team of Korean researchers has developed a processing technology for maximizing energy densities of high-capacity batteries.
The concept of chirality is well-established in science: when an object cannot be superimposed on its mirror image, both the object and its mirror image are…
Approach and landing are among the most labour-intensive flight phases. Pilots have to manage airspeed, altitude, engine thrust, and the deployment of flaps,…
Magnetic nanoparticles, a class of nanoparticles that can be manipulated by magnetic fields, have a wide range of technical and biomedical applications,…
In an unprecedented first, scientists at Seattle Children's Research Institute have developed a genetically attenuated parasite (GAP) that arrests late in the…
Scientists at the University of Sydney have adapted techniques from autonomous vehicles and robotics to efficiently assess the performance of quantum devices,…
