Harmful algal blooms create challenges around the globe for water quality and health risk management for humans, wildlife and pets. A team of researchers from...
Chemists from the University of Groningen have found a simple way to produce previously inaccessible chiral Z-alkenes, molecules that offer a significant synthetic short-cut for...
Since the introduction of the first ruby laser—a solid-state laser that uses the synthetic ruby crystal as its laser medium—in 1960, the use of lasers...
A group of researchers has identified the key stumbling block of a common solid-state hydrogen material, paving the way for future design guidelines and widespread...
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—January 13, 2023—Humans and chimpanzees differ in only one percent of their DNA. Human accelerated regions (HARs) are parts of the genome with...
In the past decade, researchers have begun to appreciate the importance of a two-way communication that occurs between microbes in the gastrointestinal tract and the...
The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), also known as the “China Sky Eye”, is the world's largest single-dish radio telescope. Its reflector is a...
TAMPA, Fla. (Jan. 12, 2023) – The University of South Florida has been awarded the Patents for Humanity award by the U.S. Patent and Trademark...
Planetary nebulae form when red giant stars expel their outermost layers as they run out of helium fuel — becoming hot, dense white dwarf stars...
Researchers have observed steric effects—the interactions of molecules depending on their spatial orientation (not just between their electrons involved in bonding)—in a chemical reaction involving...
LA JOLLA, CA — Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have at last uncovered how an enzyme called O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) keeps cells...
“In this work, we have identified distinct patterns of circRNA expression in human ALS muscle tissue, many appearing to be disease-specific, that display expression gradients...
It can pogo-stick along at 50-plus miles per hour, leaping 30-odd feet in a single bound. But that platinum-medal athleticism falls by the wayside at...
TORONTO, Jan. 12, 2023 – Vital winter ice road infrastructure may be cracking and sinking under the load of an unseasonably warm start to the...
