Hunting For The Structural Origins Of Supercooled Liquids
Despite its current popularity, the point-to-set measurement of static correlation may not be sufficient to explain the mechanics of supercooling, scientists say.
Recreating Brain Connectivity In A Dish
Scientists are one step closer to reconstructing the social network of different types of brain cells, thanks to multi-electrode arrays.
Amyloid Fibrils Help To Stabilize Enzymes In Gels
Researchers have exploited the self-assembly properties of amyloid fibrils to make enzymatically-active microgels.
DNAi Demonstrated In Metozoans For The First Time
A DNA-based gene silencing method has been shown to exist in the multicellular organism Oikopleura dioica.
Crystallizing A New Approach To Malaria Vaccination
Researchers have uncovered potentially transmission-blocking epitopes of the mosquito midgut protein AnAPN1, spurring the design of mosquito-based vaccines.
What Exactly Is The Mass Of A Supermassive Black Hole?
Scientists have made precise measurements of the supermassive black hole in the NGC 1097 galaxy, a finding that could help solve how galaxies evolved.
Atom-Thin Light Bulb Made With Graphene
Scientists have succeeded in using a single layer of graphene to make the world's thinnest light bulb.
Recalling Positive Memories Overrides Depression
Optogenetic techniques have revealed that the triggering of positive memories can mitigate the effects of stressful depression, at least in mice.
Striped Battery Structure Key To Quick Charging Time
A striped arrangement of dense and loosely packed electrons helps stabilize batteries in the intermediate state, allowing rapid charging.
