Strategic investment in 15 promising technologies could help make the world better prepared and equipped to prevent future infectious disease outbreaks from…
One of the most enduring “Holy Grail” experiments in science has been attempts to directly observe atomic motions during structural changes. This prospect…
A class exercise at MIT, aided by industry researchers, has led to an innovative solution to one of the longstanding challenges facing the development of…
However, electric currents in solids are formed by electrons. In metals, the electrons do not collide with each other, but they scatter with lattice defects….
Researchers at Northwestern University and Washington University School of Medicine have developed the first example of a bioelectronic medicine: an…
Is there a second Earth out there in space? Our knowledge of planetary systems far, far away is increasing constantly, as new technologies continue to sharpen…
The function of proteins – the molecular tools of the cell – is governed by the interplay of their structure and dynamics. Advances in electron microscopy have…
Das Zusammenspiel aus Struktur und Dynamik bestimmt die Funktion von Proteinen, den molekularen Werkzeugen der Zelle. Durch Fortschritte in der…
Optical frequency combs can enable ultrafast processes in physics, biology, and chemistry, as well as improve communication and navigation, medical testing,…
From photonics to pharmaceuticals, materials made with polymer nanoparticles hold promise for products of the future. However, there are still gaps in…
Snapdragons are charming tall plants, and flower in a range of bright colors. In Spain, where snapdragons grow wild, these flower colors show a remarkable…
Materials scientists have sussed out the physical phenomenon underlying the promising electrical properties of a class of materials called superionic crystals….
A new method for sequencing the chemical groups attached to the surface of DNA is paving the way for better detection of cancer and other diseases in the…
Many ants produce highly acidic chemicals from specialized glands in their body. For a long time, researchers assumed that ants only spray this poison, which…
Dye-sensitized solar cells have been considered a sustainable alternative to conventional solar cells for many years, even if their energy yield is not yet…
