Researchers develop manual for engineering spin dynamics in nanomagnets
An international team of researchers has developed a comprehensive manual for engineering spin dynamics in nanomagnets -- an important step toward advancing spintronic and...
Cellular traffic controllers caught managing flow of signals from receptors
Proteins that act like air traffic controllers, managing the flow of signals in and out of human cells, have been observed for the first...
Researchers use generative AI to design novel proteins
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence system that can create proteins not found in nature using generative diffusion, the same technology behind popular image-creation...
Alternative ‘fuel’ for string-shaped motors in cells
Researchers discover a unique two-component molecular motor that uses a kind of renewable chemical energy to pull vesicles toward membrane-bound organelles.
How seaweed has been misleading scientists about reef health
For decades, scientists have used the amount of seaweed at the ocean's surface as a proxy for the health of coral reefs below. However,...
Biofortification of microgreens with zinc could mitigate global ‘hidden hunger’
When the seeds of plants such as pea and sunflower are biofortified with zinc, the seedlings they quickly produce -- harvested as microgreens --...
Researchers develop an additive to efficiently improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar...
Perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) are a promising alternative to traditional silicon-based solar cells because of their high power-conversion efficiency and low cost. However, one...
Happy worms have healthy eggs
Researchers have exposed roundworms (a well-established model organism in biological research) to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a class of drugs used for treating...
Novel ultrasound uses microbubbles to open blood-brain barrier to treat glioblastoma in humans
In the first in-human clinical trial, scientists used a novel, skull-implantable ultrasound device to open the blood-brain barrier and repeatedly permeate large, critical regions...
The future of data storage lies in DNA microcapsules
Storing data in DNA sounds like science fiction, yet it lies in the near future. Experts expect the first DNA data center to be...
