Since Mercury is the closest planet to the sun among the solar system planets, it is strongly influenced by the solar wind, a high-speed (several hundred km/s) stream of plasma blowing from the sun. Explorations of Mercury ...
Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified how cytoskeletal proteins contribute to the growth of developing eggs in fruit flies, findings that further the field's understanding of how egg cells form and differentiate ...
Planetary scientists have long known that Mercury has been shrinking for billions of years. Despite being the closest planet to the sun, its interior has been cooling down as internal heat leaks away. This means that the ...
Researchers Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman won the Nobel Medicine Prize on Monday for work on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology that paved the way for groundbreaking COVID-19 vaccines.
Scientist Xiaohan Yang's research at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory focuses on transforming plants to make them better sources of renewable energy and carbon storage.
Bacteria are nearly ubiquitous and have tremendous impacts on human and ecological health. And yet, they remain largely mysterious to us. Princeton MOL faculty Zemer Gitai, Britt Adamson and Ned Wingreen launched a joint ...
Research led by Duke University, Durham, has discovered a situation-dependent traffic jam in mRNA translation caused by RNA hairpins leading to higher translation of upstream start codons (uAUGs).
What's true for optical astronomy is also true for gravitational wave astronomy: The more observatories you have, the better your view of the sky. This is why the list of active gravitational wave observatories is growing. ...
Cells change dynamically over time during embryonic development and aging, and in diseases such as inflammation and cancer. Some populations expand, others decline. The ability to track these changes over time, without killing ...
The SMNDC1 gene controls key functions in the human body and is linked to diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Scientists in Stefan Kubicek's research group at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian ...
