In 2014 the State of California was in the midst of an unprecedented drought with a big drive from the State of California University Office of the President to save water.
New research centers on an emerging field called metallomics, the study of the impact of metals on biological systems
Bacteria-specific molecules attract pre-existing antibodies to help immune system clear infection.
McGill University researchers devise new technique to produce long, custom-designed DNA strands.
Department of Energy and National Science Foundation sign agreement for U.S. participation in particle physics research.
As the most abundant element in the universe, hydrogen might seem easy to come by, except that it’s usually bonded to oxygen in water or bound in organic compounds. Many applications, though, require pure hydrogen.
UMass Amherst scientists advance understanding of strain effects on performance.
Data collected on Mars by NASA’s Curiosity rover and analyzed by University of Arkansas researchers indicate that water, in the form of brine, may exist under certain conditions on the planet’s surface.
A team of highly determined high school students discovered a never-before-seen pulsar by painstakingly analyzing data from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT). Further observations by astronomers using the GBT revealed that this pulsar has the widest orbit of any around a neutron star and is part of only a handful of double neutron star systems.
The probe of an atomic force microscope (AFM) scans a surface to reveal details at a resolution 1,000 times greater than that of an optical microscope. That makes AFM the premier tool for analyzing physical features, but it cannot tell scientists anything about chemistry. For that they turn to the mass spectrometer (MS).
University of Washington research pinpoints defects in popular perovskites.
A recent and famous image from deep space marks the first time we’ve seen a forming planetary system, according to a study by University of Toronto astrophysicists
