Of Moth And Men
A study of the structure of sex pheromones in moths could shed light on the related hormone in humans.
Lipid Bilayers On A Chip
The ALBiC system uses lipid bilayers to seal sub-million femtolitre chambers, facilitating the study of transporter proteins at the single molecule scale.
Microsatellites Send Pictures From Space
Designed to be quickly developed and cost less than conventional satellites, microsatellites such as Hodoyoshi-3 & 4 could be the future of Earth observation.
Modulating Plaque Production Without Side Effects
Modulating rather than completely blocking the activity of the enzyme γ-secretase could lead to better Alzheimer's drugs, scientists say.
Manipulating Molecular Machines
Single molecule optical microscopy allows researchers to "see and touch" tiny molecular machines measuring only one nanometer.
Cosmic Ray Hotspot Found
The Telescope Array group has identified a hotspot in the Northern hemisphere where super high energy cosmic rays seem to be clustered.
High-Precision Spectroscopy Paves The Way For Atomic Clocks
Scientists have developed a method of trapping atoms in an optical lattice that could lead to the miniaturization of atomic clocks.
Death Of Aged Olfactory Neurons Reversed
Scientists were able to prevent the death of olfactory neurons in aging flies, thereby restoring innate food attraction behavior.
Ice Zero Explains Water’s Mysterious Crystallization
The newly identified type of ice explains how water behaves under supercooled conditions, changing our understanding of ice formation.
