A burst of ‘synchronous’ light
Excited photo-emitters can cooperate and radiate simultaneously, a phenomenon called superfluorescence. Researchers have recently been able to create this effect with long-range ordered nanocrystal...
Mobile workers in north Ethiopia vulnerable to visceral leishmaniasis transmission
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a life-threatening disease transmitted by the bite of a sand fly. Between 3,700 to 7,400 people in Ethiopia are infected...
Bees on the brink
Using an innovative robotic platform to observe bees' behavior, researchers showed that, following exposure to neonicotinoid pesticides -- the most commonly-used class of pesticides...
The teeth of Changchunsaurus: Rare insight into ornithopod dinosaur tooth evolution
The teeth of Changchunsaurus parvus, a small herbivorous dinosaur from the Cretaceous of China, represent an important and poorly-known stage in the evolution of...
A molecular switch links a Scottish mouse, a Finnish patient and Parkinson’s disease
Researchers have made an unexpected and vital contribution to an international collaborative effort in Parkinson's disease research.
Images of photosynthetic protein complex splitting water
In a new article presents high-resolution images of photosystem II, the protein complex that splits water into hydrogen ions and oxygen during photosynthesis. The...
Machine-learning algorithm predicts how cells repair broken DNA
By creating a machine-learning algorithm that predicts how human and mouse cells respond to CRISPR-induced breaks in DNA, a team of researchers discovered that...
Finding a rhyme and reason to CRISPR-Cas9’s mutations
Investigators have discovered that template-free Cas9 editing is predictable, and they have developed a machine learning model that can predict insertions and deletions with...
Astronomers find pairs of black holes at the centers of merging galaxies
For the first time, a team of astronomers has observed several pairs of galaxies in the final stages of merging together into single, larger...
Tiny molecule has big effect in childhood brain tumor studies
A very small molecule under study is able to kill a childhood brain cancer, and the lead researcher said it may be possible to...
