Spacetime Emerges From Quantum Entanglement
Also known as Einstein's “spooky action at distance,” quantum entanglement generates extra dimensions of gravitational theory which explain spacetime.
Inverted Architecture Boosts Polymer Solar Cell Efficiency
By changing the orientation of the crytstals, researchers have improved the efficiency of polymer solar cells.
Magnets: The Fastest Photoswitching Proteins In The World
By electrostatically modifying an existing fungal photoreceptor, researchers have developed a photoswitch that responds in just seconds.
Add Nanotubes For Super Strong Silk
Adding carbon nanotubes to silk proteins can create silk fibers that are almost as strong as natural spider dragline silk.
Touchpoints Of The Chromosome Scaffold
Condensin, a protein complex that acts as a scaffold to protect DNA during cell division, also play a protective role in response to heat stress.
The Genetics Of Why Ovarian Cancer Treatments Fail
By using whole genome sequencing on 92 ovarian tumors, researchers have uncovered genes which confer resistance to chemotherapy.
Making Liquids Stay Right Where You Want Them
Additives and micro-contact printing could be used to reduce friction even in microelectromechanical systems, study says.
Haplotype Resolution Without References
Researchers have developed a method that can resolve haploid sequences without using a reference genome, paving the way for the assembly of more complex genomes.
Physicists Solve Quantum Tunneling Mystery
Supercomputer calculations have provided attosecond-scale calibrations that can serve as a good reference point for future experiments on protein folding or electronics.
