Additive processes, or more simply industrial 3D printing, have left their niche and are finding their way into many areas of established industries. In…
For their study, the researchers investigated rats suffering from temporal lobe epilepsy. This is the most common form of the disease in humans. Unfortunately,…
A new toolkit goes beyond existing machine learning methods by measuring body posture in animals with high speed and accuracy. Developed by researchers from…
Anyone who has ever steered a child's kite knows the feeling: the wind grips the kite and pulls the string. The rope is quickly tensioned, the pulley rotates…
Physicists and materials scientists from Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) found out the structures in nanomaterials made of ceramic…
The research is led by graduate physics student Jie Gu and post-doctoral fellow Biswanath Chakraborty, in collaboration with another graduate student, Mandeep…
There is an as-yet-unseen population of Jupiter-like planets orbiting nearby Sun-like stars, awaiting discovery by future missions like NASA's WFIRST space…
Reporter genes work by encoding proteins that can be seen from outside the cell. One particularly popular reporter gene encodes something called the green…
The Klebsiella oxytoca bacterium was increasingly detected during routine hygiene screenings in the neonatal ward of a children's hospital in Germany. The…

An atomic nucleus with many more neutrons than protons is neutron-rich and unstable. It will get rid of excess neutrons to become stable through the beta-decay…
The signals from a lighthouse to ships at sea is an early example of optical communication, the use of light to transmit information. Today, researchers in the…
Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that become shorter with each cell division. If they become so short that the genes they protect could…
Researchers have built a new tool to study molecules using a laser, a crystal and light detectors. This new technology will reveal nature's smallest sculptures…
Essential building blocks of DNA — compounds called nucleobases — have been detected for the first time in a simulated environment mimicking gaseous clouds…
New research reveals that the way viruses were perceived in terms of their architecture will need to be retooled, because they are actually structured in many…
