The new information provides clues to how scientists could design a composite toxin that would work against a broader range of mosquito species, including Aedes
This latest study from Professor Liddle’s research group looked at how ‘soft’ elements such as phosphorus can interact with thorium in unusual bonding environments
Infrared spectroscopic imaging has been limited to studies of dried tissue samples because water molecules absorb and interfere with the infrared signal
The substances stick around in the environment for a long time, which makes them likely to be inhaled or ingested by people and animals
Iowa researchers find intestinal cells’ immune response protects vital neurons
Recognizing that a plethora of scientific insights could be gleaned from this information, over 450 sites worldwide are sharing their observation data with the FLUXNET database
The major influences on ocean chemistry today are hydrothermal flow (hot water that has circulated through the crust) and surface weathering (the river transport of material eroded from land into the ocean)
These molecular machines are often as elaborate as man-made devices, but exactly how they work is much harder to understand because of their extremely small size
This method allows the detection of almost all metals, organic materials, and various pharmacological agents in water
Scientists say ocean fossils found in mountains are cause for concern over future sea levels
A study that describes the Earth’s activity below the Greenland Ice Sheet is a valuable contribution to climate science, one expert says
