Inspired by a hitchhiking fish that uses a specialized suction organ to latch onto sharks and other marine animals, researchers from MIT and other institutions have designed a mechanical adhesive device that can attach to […]
Inside living cells, molecules are constantly on the move—binding, diffusing, interacting. An international competition, the 2nd AnDi Challenge, has now delivered a systematic comparison of analytical methods for single-molecule motion analysis, highlighting both the current […]
A nuclear winter is a theoretical concept, but if the climate scenario expected to follow a large-scale nuclear war, in which smoke and soot from firestorms block sunlight, came to fruition, global temperatures would sharply […]
The consensus on the likelihood of giving birth to a boy or girl has long been that the odds are roughly equal and that all mothers have the same odds of having either a boy […]
Bacteria are set to transform the future of dairy-free milk products. Scientists have successfully engineered E. coli to produce key milk proteins essential for cheese and yogurt production, without using any animal-derived ingredients. This paves […]
A recently published article in the journal Weed Science shows electric control technologies can eradicate weeds just as effectively as herbicides or mechanical methods, with minimal risks to the crop, soil or the environment, despite […]
New research into mitotic chromosomes has found that they are covered in a liquid-like coating that could allow them to bounce off one another, like bumper cars, protecting them from being damaged during cell division.This […]
A team of researchers from Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid has developed a groundbreaking technique that maps temperature in three dimensions within biological tissue, using invisible light and artificial […]
Van Andel Institute scientists have developed an improved technique to comprehensively profile DNA methylation in single cells, an advance that will help researchers better study the role of epigenetics in cancer and other diseases.This post […]
A University of Florida research team has developed a more accurate way to count wildlife using drones—an innovation that helped confirm the world’s largest known nesting site for a threatened turtle species.This post was originally […]
