Many enzymes work only with a co-trainer, of sorts. Scientists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) and the Cluster of Excellence Nanosystems…
Dogs and cats with white or thin coats are at particular risk, as are animals with very closely shorn fur or with certain pre-existing conditions….
“We were able to identify interactions between microbiota that were not previously observed, and we think that some of those interactions may actually help…
Chemists at the University of California, Riverside have constructed liquid crystals with optical properties that can be instantly and reversibly controlled by…
Rice University chemical engineer Michael Wong has spent a decade amassing evidence that palladium-gold nanoparticles are excellent catalysts for cleaning…
The research, published in the current issue of Science, sheds light on the genetic blueprint used to evolve these complex, novel organs. It was co-led by…
Green-chemistry researchers at McGill University have discovered a way to use water as a solvent in one of the reactions most widely used to synthesize…
Further research is necessary to understand the clinical significance of the finding, but researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis…
While preferring silence to music from the West, chimpanzees apparently like to listen to the different rhythms of music from Africa and India, according to…
The food pellet must be further away—a mouse is foraging for food. To estimate distances and to orient itself in space, the brain forms an internal spatial…
Do they carry the gas ammonia or the ammonium ion in their luggage? And is transport active or passive?
For infectious disease specialists, the technology can be used to analyze a disease-causing bacterium to determine how much harm it is capable of causing and…
“Speaking any language requires proper articulation of the different sounds,” says Björn Brembs, Professor of Neurogenetics at Universität Regensburg, who…
With the continuing need for very small devices in therapeutic applications, there is a growing demand for the development of nanoparticles that can transport…
Summary: There are more natural sources of the greenhouse gas methane than previously known to science. Plants are one of these sources. A German-British team…
The nuclear membrane can be crossed via many tiny pores. Scientists at the Biozentrum and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute at the University of Basel, together…
