A delicate concrete ceiling – cast in 3D-printed formwork – and a curved concrete wall created by a construction robot characterize the architecture of the…
Combining a first laser pulse to heat up and “drill” through a plasma, and another to accelerate electrons to incredibly high energies in just tens of…
(EGFR refers to “epidermal growth factor receptor”, a protein that plays an important role in signaling from the extracellular environment to a cell.) However,…
In recent years, electronic data processing has been evolving in one direction only: The industry has downsized its components to the nanometer range. But this…
The researchers have compiled and analysed worldwide data from field experiments with ozone and scaled up the effects to the global level. The results show…
Like a well-guarded fortress, the human brain attacks intruders on sight. Foreign objects, including neural probes used to study and treat the brain, do not…
A team of engineers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis has developed a high-power fuel cell that advances technology…
A combination of X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) assisted in a collaborative effort to obtain the highest-resolution structure of…
Just as a journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step, the deformations and fractures that cause catastrophic failure in materials begin with a few…
