“This work lays the foundations to recover the protein folding landscapes directly from experimental data, providing a route to new understanding and rational…
Astronomers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst report that they have observed the most luminous galaxies ever seen in the Universe, objects so bright…
Research led by Johns Hopkins University scientists has found new persuasive evidence that could help solve a longstanding mystery in astrophysics: Why did the…
Now gardeners, golf-course owners, and growers who have been battling masked chafers for decades have a new resource. An article in the Journal of Integrated…
Researchers at the University of Georgia and at Ben-Gurion University in Israel have demonstrated for the first time that nanoscale electronic components can…
Simulations are a popular tool to study physical processes that cannot be investigated experimentally in detail. For example, scientists are challenged to…
COMP (Cartilage Oligomeric Matrix Protein) is a protein that so far has mainly been studied in cartilage tissue, where it helps development of a normal…
In a classical world, objects have pre-existing properties, physical influences are local and cannot travel faster than the speed of light, and it is in…
Beguiling scents, sober facts: scents emanating from plants are almost always monoterpenes and monoterpene alcohols, the essential oils of plants are natural…
Scientists and engineers from the Universities of Bristol and Western Australia have developed how to efficiently simulate a “quantum walk” on a new design for…
Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that is frequently found on the human skin and in the nose where it usually behaves inconspicuously. However, once inside…
Bathing a patient in LED light may someday offer a new way to locate tumors, according to Rice University researchers.
Ideally, steels and steel-related alloys should be capable of both properties: they should not fragment, for example during processing in a mill or as car…
A large number of drugs used today originate from nature. Most of these molecules, which can be found with or without synthetic modifications and exert their…
Many animals depend on their microbiome to digest their food. Symbiotic microorganisms produce enzymes their hosts cannot, and these work alone or together…
In the United States, the use of natural gas for electricity generation continues to grow. The driving forces behind this development? A boom in domestic…
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and their collaborators used neutron scattering to uncover magnetic excitations in the…
A year and a half on the outer wall of the International Space Station ISS in altitude of 400 kilometers is a real challenge. Whether a primordial bacterium…
The development of photodetectors has been a matter of considerable interest in the past decades since their applications are essential to many different…
