Phys.org / Ultrack and inTRACKtive: A powerful pair of tools to help track cells through embryonic development
With today's advanced microscopes, scientists can capture videos of entire embryos developing in real time. But there's a catch: turning those breathtaking images into clean, accurate trajectories of each cell's journey as ...
Phys.org / Measuring a previously mysterious imaginary component of wave scattering
There has long been a mystery when calculating how an incoming light wave scatters off an object and becomes a modified, outgoing light wave. In particular, the time delay of the transition from one to the other comes out ...
Phys.org / DNA from extinct hominin may have helped ancient peoples survive in the Americas
Thousands of years ago, ancient humans undertook a treacherous journey, crossing hundreds of miles of ice over the Bering Strait to the unknown world of the Americas.
Phys.org / Single quantum device that measures amperes, volts and ohms could revolutionize how we measure electricity
A team of scientists has revealed how a single quantum device can accurately measure the three fundamental units of electricity—the ampere (unit of electrical current), the volt (unit of electrical potential) and the ohm ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists discover new '3D genome organizer' linked to fertility and cancer
A research team at Kyoto University has discovered STAG3-cohesin, a new mitotic cohesin complex that helps establish the unique DNA architecture of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), the stem cells that give rise to sperm. ...
Phys.org / Synthesis of a molecule found in guava plants offers hope in fighting liver-related cancers
You may not be aware that most of the medicines that have been approved for treatment are rooted in nature. For example, the bark of willow trees has been called nature's aspirin because it contains a chemical called salicin. ...
Phys.org / Idaho poisoned Snake River for invasive mussels: Was it worth 'heartbreaking' loss?
