Dense Stars Deformed By Extreme Magnetic Forces
Scientists have found that dense stars known as magnetars are deformed by their extremely high magnetic fields, resulting in a wobbly orbit.
Phthalocyanine Switches For Molecular Memory
Researchers have shown that H2Pc could be used to store molecular memory, based on its ability to tautomerize.
Insomnia Proteins Now Linked To Osteoporosis
Orexin proteins, being developed to treat patients with insomnia, could also be helpful in treating osteoporosis, scientists say.
Cosmic Explosions Shrouded In Dust

NTT DOCOMO Builds First Multi-Purpose Authentication Device
New device prototype by Japanese mobile solutions provider can activate smartphones or tablets for network access.
Chimpanzees Better Strategists Than Humans
Scientists have demonstrated through a game with rewards that chimpanzees make better moves than humans to maximize their payoffs.
The Geometry Of Genetic Coding
The specificity of the tRNA synthetase enzyme, and consequently protein translation, is due to geometric features determined by a single base pair known as the wobble base pair.
Japanese Catfish Use pH To Locate Prey
By detecting the changes in pH as underground sea worms breathe, Japanese catfish are able to find their prey even in murky water.
All Roads Lead To The Vacuole
Understanding the intracellular transport pathways to the vacuole could lead to the development of better nutrient storage in plants.
