The New Wave Of Clean Energy
Researchers have designed a marine turbine that turns ocean waves into a reliable clean energy source.
From Sails To Steam To… Magnets?
A researcher has proposed a paddle boat powered by magnetic gears to demonstrate the possibilities of the technology in micro- and nanosystems.
Mathematical Model Helps To ‘Tune’ Gene Expression
Thanks to this mathematical model, researchers can now reliably predict how multiple transcription factors will act together to regulate gene expression.
How A Velcro-Like Malarial Protein Hijacks Immune System
The structure of the malarial protein involved in rosette formation could help scientists develop treatments for symptoms associated with severe forms of the disease.
Tiny Seaweed Beads Could One Day Replace Insulin Injections
Microfluidics could help make pancreatic islet transplants more effective for patients with type 1 diabetes.
Obesity-Promoting Genes Discovered
Mice that lack two genes—Cnot7 and Tob—remain lean even after eating a high-fat diet, research shows.
Cold Atoms And Optical Nanofibers Could Supercharge Data Transfer
Researchers have demonstrated a proof-of-concept optical nanofiber system that could be used as the building block for quantum computing.
Genetics Helps Trace The Tale Of Coral Migration And Recovery
A study of over 900,000 SNPs has helped scientists identify the genetic changes that help some corals survive bleaching events better than others.
mRNA Stability Regulates The Fine Line Between Cell Death & Survival
A protein known as CNOT3 destablilzes the mRNA of cell death associated proteins, thereby determining whether cells undergo necroptosis.
