Watching how molecules change shape in slow motion could inform future molecular machines
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) at Kanazawa University, the Institute for Molecular Science and SOKENDAI have uncovered the hidden...
Researchers install 3D-printed seawall tiles to support coastal protection and marine life
At Morningside Park in Miami, a new installation is testing a simple but urgent idea: What if a seawall could help heal the bay? Researchers at the Institute of...
Hawaiʻi island spinner dolphins are producing fewer calves
Unexpectedly low calf numbers within the spinner dolphin population off Hawaiʻi Island were revealed in a study led by scientists with the Marine Mammal Researc...
Scientists enable DNA synthesis using only temperature instead of chemical reagents
"Complex chemical processes are essential for making DNA." This long-held assumption in the field of biotechnology has been overturned by a Korean research team...
Metallic rutile oxides break the rules of cooling
Physicists have long puzzled over a strange contradiction inside a family of minerals called rutile oxides. These materials all share the same crystal structure...
New Horizons watches the solar wind as it slows down
Where does the solar system end and interstellar space begin? That's a question scientists have been working to answer using spacecraft traveling beyond the sun...
Reinventing pediatric dental training in Singapore
Managing pediatric dental patients can be stressful for dental students and inexperienced practitioners, particularly when communicating with fearful and uncoop...
Birds' efficient red blood cells convert metabolic 'waste' into fuel for rapid recovery
New research finds that birds can use lactate, often thought of as a metabolic waste product, as a cellular fuel that aids in rapid recovery from a harmful stat...
Citizen science could grow beyond data collection under 10 proposed recommendations
Citizen science is booming and could play a much greater role in tackling climate change, reef health, biodiversity and public health challenges by involving me...
JWST finds the most distant barred galaxy candidate in the early universe
