The findings present a promising step forward towards being able to manipulate and control the behaviour of high energy, or ‘hot’, electrons

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

The current study provides the first images of the RyR1 channel in the open state, as well as in various conformations in which it has changed shape but the channel has not yet opened

“It has been a long-standing goal to understand, initiate and control these unusual behaviors,” says LCLS Director Mike Dunne

The researchers hope to replace unhealthful trans and saturated fats with better non-saturated versions – all without compromising texture

As the California medical cannabis industry evolves, state-mandated laboratory standards of operation prove vital

The monitor works quickly and can send results wirelessly to a smartphone or other device

The researchers developed a hybrid nanosensor incorporating magnetic resonance and fluorescence

SLAC, Stanford scientists exploit a famous bit of quantum weirdness to film a molecule’s inner life

The fluorescent sensor, derived from citric acid molecules, is highly sensitive and highly selective for chloride, the key diagnostic marker in cystic fibrosis
