The Master Switch Controlling Plant Growth
The discovery of the protein BSS1 could lead to improved control over crop growth via the brassinosteroid signalling pathway.
For Precision, Two Clocks Are Better Than One
The optical lattice clocks use lasers to create "egg box" structures that contain single atoms, leading to unprecedented precision.
Growing Brain Tissue In 3D
The ability to culture neural cells in 3D brings us one step closer to growing functional brain tissue in the lab.
Turning Plant Cells Into Factories
Rather than take on the entire plant cell, researchers have developed a peptide-based method to turn the mitochondria into a biofuel factory.
What Powers A Molecular Motor?
Cryo electron microscopy has revealed the dynamics of the molecular motor dyenin.
How Bubbles Ripen In Supercomputers & Champagne
Simulations run on the K supercomputer involving 700 million particles have shed light on the physics of bubbles.
Capturing CTCs With A Nanotech “Espresso Machine”
By raising and lowering the temperature, researchers have made the isolation of circulating tumor cells more efficient.
The Two Stages Of Brain Recovery
The recovery of motor function after brain damage involves different parts of the brain at different stages, scientists say.
How Vitamin C Helps Plants Beat The Sun
Scientists have identified the protein responsible for transporting vitamin C into the chloroplasts of cells, thereby preventing photoinhibition.
