Tufts University engineers have developed a novel fabrication method to create dyed threads that change color when they detect a variety of gases. The…
Plants, fungi, animals and even humans have it: the protein ubiquitin. It comprises a sequence of 76 amino acids, making it a relatively small biomolecule. But…
When organs or tissues are damaged, new blood vessels must form as they play a vital role in bringing nutrients and eliminating waste. This is the only way for…
The researchers presented participants with a number of different scene images. Importantly, they paired each scene image with one of two different objects,…
The discovery, made in the laboratory using cells from people with HIV, is yet to be tested in clinical trials, but could lead to the development of a vaccine…
Distributing iron particles produced by bacteria could “fertilize” microscopic ocean plants and ultimately lower atmospheric carbon levels, according to a new…
Achrioptera manga is a real gem among the stick insects – it is huge and has brightly coloured males. The most important survival rule for stick insects is to…
“We eventually hope that these sensors and engineering accomplishments can help advance healthcare applications and provide a better quantitative understanding…
Heidelberg researchers comprehensively identify the composition of transport vesicles for the first time
A team of scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) now shows that grid cells go beyond providing simple spatial coordinates:…
A research team led by biophysical chemist Professor Edward Lemke has engineered a designer organelle in a living mammalian cell in a new complex biological…
In breast cancer, FGFR4 is especially overexpressed in the subset, where cell proliferation is driven by another related signaling receptor, HER2. Targeted…
Humans are vulnerable: one cut and they bleed. Fortunately, nature has its own solutions at the ready to treat minor injuries at the least: in order to close…
Madagascar, an island a little larger than mainland France, has more than 350 frog species. This number is constantly rising, and many of the newly named…
Smitha Rao, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Michigan Tech, led the research. She said the approach is innovative, “we're coming at this…
The study will analyze the use of the potent greenhouse gas SF6 and of F-gas free alternatives in medium voltage grids. The study is intended to support the…
