Phys.org / Does the motion of DNA influence its activity?
How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this genome is folded in 3D space—knowing ...
Tech Xplore / 'Learn-to-Steer' method improves AI's ability to understand spatial instructions
Researchers from the Department of Computer Science at Bar-Ilan University and from NVIDIA's AI research center in Israel have developed a new method that significantly improves how artificial intelligence models understand ...
Tech Xplore / New perspective charts path to next-generation water and energy membranes
When you turn on a faucet, charge an electric vehicle or use products made with clean hydrogen, you may not realize that membranes—ultrathin films perforated with pores too small to see—make these modern processes possible. ...
Phys.org / Expands the genetic alphabet: Artificial DNA base pair uses halogen bonds to form stable structures
For the first time, researchers have succeeded in developing an artificial DNA base pair that is based on a different chemical force than natural genetic material. While the common natural DNA building blocks are held together ...
Phys.org / Female meiosis in plants can be directly observed with new method
A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed a method that enables the detailed observation of female meiosis—the process by which germ cells are formed—in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The FeM-ID ...
Medical Xpress / Could 'cyborg' transplants replace pancreatic tissue damaged by diabetes?
A new electronic implant system can help lab-grown pancreatic cells mature and function properly, potentially providing a basis for novel, cell-based therapies for diabetes. The approach, developed by researchers at the Perelman ...
Phys.org / Mother-daughter bonds in red deer tied to survival and more surviving calves
Strong social networking plays an important role in human relationships. New research on female red deer shows that those bonds are also crucial for their reproductive success and survival. The study, which looked at more ...
Phys.org / JWST spots most distant jellyfish galaxy to date
Astrophysicists from the University of Waterloo have observed a new jellyfish galaxy, the most distant one of its kind ever captured. Jellyfish galaxies are named for the long, tentacle-like streams that trail behind them. ...
Phys.org / Understanding 'Snowball Earth' extreme climates when the world is covered in ice
In the whole history of Earth's climate, few events are as extreme as those that geologists call "Snowball Earth."
Phys.org / Strong Field Spin-Boson model revises how intense lasers drive electrons in dense matter
A team of physicists from the University of Ottawa, led by Neda Boroumand, have developed a new theoretical model that shines new light on how scientists understand the way lasers interact with dense matter, such as solids ...
Phys.org / New amplifier design promises less noise, more gain for quantum computers
The low-noise, high-gain properties needed for high-performance quantum computing can be realized in a microwave photonic circuit device called a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier (JTWPA), RIKEN researchers have ...
Phys.org / CT scans help detect ancient earthquakes in Hamilton Basin
In a world-first use of medical imaging technology, scientists have revealed the earthquake-generating potential of faults in the Hamilton and Hauraki areas. The study shows that hidden geological faults in Hamilton city ...
