Phys.org / Researchers develop low-cost light sheet fluorescence microscope
Three-dimensional (3D) imaging of organs and tissues is vital as it can provide important structural information at the cellular level. 3D imaging enables the accurate visualization of tissues and also helps in the identification ...
Phys.org / New methodology advances self-assembly of dual-functional supramolecular materials
Versatile molecular frameworks called discrete supramolecular structures act like microscopic building blocks customizable for a wide variety of applications. The structures can serve in drug delivery, provide unique environments ...
Phys.org / Understanding the synchronization of physiological states during a live music performance
Common input synchronization is a process where systems or organisms exposed to an identical input respond similarly. People listening to a concert, for example, could experience a synchronization of their emotions.
Phys.org / New molecules to modulate gene expression
The correct functioning of cells relies heavily on the ability to finely control gene expression, a complex process by which the information contained in DNA is copied into RNA to eventually give rise to all the proteins ...
Phys.org / Study finds emissions trading also creates health benefits
The EU Emissions Trading System is not only good for reducing CO2 and for the climate. It also results in considerable health benefits due to reduced air pollution and saves hundreds of billions of euros, according to a recently ...
Phys.org / Searching for the missing link between growth and longevity
Many scientists believe that in mammals, there's a tradeoff between growth and better health. Pugs, for example, are known to live longer than their larger counterpart in the dog world, the Great Dane. But a new study shows ...
Phys.org / Researchers find crucial gaps in climate risk assessment methods
Researchers from the Universities of Zurich, Vienna and Utrecht have uncovered significant flaws in current climate risk assessment techniques that could lead to a severe underestimation of climate-related financial losses ...
Phys.org / Biomolecular condensate 'molecular putty' properties found encoded in protein sequence
Biomolecular condensates are membraneless hubs of condensed proteins and nucleic acids within cells, which researchers are realizing are tied to an increasing number of cellular processes and diseases. Studies of biomolecular ...
Phys.org / Research reveals self-organized processes govern cell movement
The UPV/EHU researcher Ildefonso Martínez de la Fuente has led an exhaustive analysis of the locomotion trajectories of 700 individual cells using advanced scientific techniques to demonstrate that their movements depend ...
Phys.org / Research shows Darwin and Wallace both right on butterfly evolution
Pioneering AI-powered research on butterflies has probed the under-studied evolution of females and adds to a debate between the founding fathers of evolution.
Phys.org / Can a computer chip have zero energy loss in 1.58 dimensions?
What if we could find a way to make electric currents flow, without energy loss? A promising approach for this involves using materials known as topological insulators. They are known to exist in one (wire), two (sheet) and ...
Phys.org / Astronomers discover a peculiar radio galaxy
Using the LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR), astronomers have discovered a new radio galaxy. The newfound galaxy, designated J0011+3217, showcases peculiar features, including a one-sided secondary lobe. The finding was reported ...
