Unified model explains extreme jet streams on all giant planets

One of the most notable properties of the giant planets in our solar system—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—are the extreme winds observed around their equators. While some of these planets have eastward equatorial winds, ...

Microwave technique allows energy-efficient chemical reactions

Some industrial processes used to create useful chemicals require heat, but heating methods are often inefficient, partly because they heat a greater volume of space than they really need to. Researchers, including those ...

Molecular switch discovery could open door to male birth control

Michigan State University scientists have pinpointed the molecular "switch" that supercharges sperm for their final sprint to an egg—a breakthrough that could reshape infertility treatments and pave the way for safe, nonhormonal ...

New tool offers single-cell study of specific genetic variants

Scientists have long suspected connections between heredity and disease, dating back to Hippocrates, who observed certain diseases "ran in families." However, through the years, scientists have kept getting better at finding ...

Proteome analysis can predict biological effects of yeast mutations

Every organism's genome contains mutations that often have unknown biological effects. In partnership with Stanford University, researchers at Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now discovered a way to predict the effects ...
