Electrons moving in a strong magnetic field perform a circular motion due to the Lorentz force, on which electromagnetic induction and the electric motor are…
The incidence of Legionnaires’ disease has increased in the past two decades. The natural habitat of Legionella is freshwater biotopes, where they mainly…
The most enticing feature of this southernmost region is the craters, some of which never see the light of day reach their floors. The reason for this is the…
Researchers at the Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex Systems (PCS), within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS, South Korea), and colleagues have…
Researchers at Tel Aviv University, led by Prof. Carmit Levy and Dr. Tamar Golan of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at TAU's Sackler School…
Take some chloroform, a few milligrams of polymer and mingle this solution with a soap mixture. This results in an emulsion from which chloroform slowly…
Scientists at the CECAD Cluster of Excellence in Aging Research of the University of Cologne have discovered that body cells which are in direct contact with…
Atrial fibrillation leads to a persistent irregular – often accelerated – heartbeat. While the condition is not life-threatening, if left untreated it can lead…
Neuronal networks in the brain can process information particularly well when they are close to a critical point – or so brain researchers had assumed based on…
Chemists usually synthesize molecules using stochastic bond-forming collisions of the reactant molecules in solution. Nature follows a different strategy in…
Our eyes — the windows to the soul — need constant care, and as we age, they sometimes also need significant repair.
For a long time now, physicists have known about interesting phenomena such as the AHE in which spins of a certain species accumulate on a film edge. Their…
For over 50 years, X-ray crystallography has been the foremost method for the determination of three dimensional structures of biological macromolecules.
First impressions are important – they can set the stage for the entire course of a relationship. The same is true for the impressions the cells of our immune…
This could be a step toward molecular computing–building circuits up from molecules rather than carving them out of silicon as a way to max out Moore's Law…
Two proteins that act as a 'clutch' in cells to put them in gear and drive our immune response have been identified for the first time.
