RIKEN researchers have determined the molecular structure of an enzyme that occurs in fish. This could shed light on molecular processes in a wide range of marine organisms. The work is published in ...

The task of gently transporting a microscopic particle from one point to another along a winding path, and then bringing it back using nothing more than a single, compact chip is a challenge we set ...

One of the first steps in addressing health concerns is measurement. For firefighters, one health concern is that their gear ...

The twinkling stars in the night sky are not just beautiful to look at. Their flickering reveals something about the varying temperatures and densities in the layers of Earth's atmosphere, which ...

Rice plants and Venus flytraps share something in common that was not scientifically documented until recently. Using a faint ...

Oxygen is a cornerstone of chemistry, largely because it is so good at building the organic molecules that make up our world. Some oxygen-based compounds called peroxides are famous for being highly ...

Researchers have developed a technique to analyze how black holes "ring" when they collide and merge: one of the universe's ...

People in low-performing organizations are more likely to look to others working elsewhere to access new knowledge and ...

Can we have higher yields and better taste? Using a natural extract from the fungus Pseudozyma aphidis, this method improves ...
