Disrupting crystalline order to restore superfluidity
What if you could disrupt the crystalline order of quantum matter so that the superfluid could flow freely even at temperatures and pressures where...
Does climate vary more from century to century when it is warmer?
Century-scale climate variability was enhanced when the Earth was warmer during the Last Interglacial period (129,000-116,000 years ago) compared to the current interglacial (the...
New mechanism for how animal cells stay intact
Watching the movement of every cell in an adult animal all at once, researchers discovered ultra-fast cellular contractions. This research suggests a new role...
Tropical moths in the mountains are larger
Researchers have measured more than 19,000 tropical moths from 1,100 species to find out whether their size varies with elevation. The researchers found clear...
New catalyst opens door to CO2 capture in conversion of coal to liquid fuels
World energy consumption projections expect coal to stay one of the world's main energy sources in the coming decades, and a growing share of...
Irrigating vegetables with wastewater in African cities may spread disease
Urban farmers growing vegetables to feed millions of people in Africa's ever-growing cities could unwittingly be helping to spread disease by irrigating crops with...
Simple, cost effective treatment following failed back surgery shows promise
Failed back surgery (continued low back and leg pain after surgery) is relatively common. With each reoperation, success, as defined by pain reduction, becomes...
A new way to create molecules for drug development
Chemists have developed a new and improved way to generate molecules that can enable the design of new types of synthetic drugs.
Researchers quickly harvest 2-D materials, bringing them closer to commercialization
Researchers have developed a technique to harvest 2-inch diameter wafers of 2-D material within just a few minutes. They can then be stacked together...
Shedding light on gene variants and their connections to health and disease
NIH's Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen) and ClinVar programs are addressing a major barrier to incorporating genomic medicine into healthcare, which is a lack of...
