Red-tailed hawks maintain flight performance despite missing feathers
Red-tailed hawks can compensate for feather loss during molt by subtly changing their wing and tail movements, according to a new study by University of Califor...
DNA databases unite to create a fully open resource for transposable element research
For more than three decades, researchers studying genomes have relied on foundational resources such as Repbase and, more recently, Dfam to identify and classif...
Nanopore technology identifies proteins molecule by molecule
Proteins are responsible for most functions in the human body. However, their analysis, which is essential for understanding diseases, developing drugs and disc...
Why nanoscale droplets don't coalesce and microscale droplets do
Olive oil and water do not naturally mix. Water molecules are polar, having a net electric dipole moment due to the bend angle of about 104.5° between the two o...
