Phys.org / Simulation model provides accurate assessment of urban spread, residual risks of chemical warfare agents
A research team affiliated with UNIST has reported a new simulation tool to better understand how liquid-phase chemical warfare agents (CWAs) disperse and persist in urban environments. Their findings demonstrate that certain ...
Phys.org / Understanding the role of linear ubiquitination in T-tubule biogenesis
Transverse tubules (T-tubules) play a significant role in muscle contraction. However, the underlying mechanism of their formation is yet to be elucidated. In a recent study, a research team from Japan used a Drosophila model ...
Phys.org / What I've learned from studying the wild pigeon
Domestic pigeons have surprising cultural significance. They inspired Charles Darwin in his thinking about evolution, delivered wartime messages to save lives, and have symbolic meaning around the world.
