Broad inadequacies in a widespread biological concept that affects cancer research could be significantly deflecting the aim of such targeted drugs, according to a new study

Tensegrity is a structural system of floating rods in compression and cables in continuous tension

Researchers have found that carbon particles released into the air from burning trees and other organic matter are much more likely than previously thought to travel to the upper levels of the atmosphere

"We were seeking to understand the aggregation and phase behavior of these plank-like molecules as a function of temperature and concentration," said researcher

Modeling and data analysis done by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology suggest that sea ice and snowfall changes have shifted China's winter monsoon, helping create stagnant atmospheric conditions that trap pollution over the country's major population and industrial centers

Researchers have shown that replacing conventional power supplies with TENG devices for charging the molecules being analyzed can boost the sensitivity of mass spectrometers to unprecedented levels

Technique could accelerate the development and use of gene therapies for such killers as heart disease, cancer, and Parkinson’s disease

In a study that may sound a new alarm for endangered corals, researchers have found that small community-based marine protected areas may be especially vulnerable to attack by crown-of-thorns sea stars that can devastate coral reefs

Science synopsis: Strong signs of quantum spin liquid observed in YbMgGaO4 crystals by neutron scattering off ytterbium electrons

The technique would be used in a recording method known as patch-clamping, in which a tiny liquid-filled glass pipette is connected to individual neurons

More evidence that life could have evolved with relative ease: New research supports ancestors of genes self-copying in a mushy puddle

The new material is based on polymer hollow fibers treated to retain their structure—and pore sizes—as they are converted to carbon through pyrolysis

“This study shows that our air quality, particularly ozone in the fall, is becoming more sensitive to the effects of climate change,” said Yuhang Wang, a professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology

Climate change focuses research on ocean areas depleted of oxygen, leading to discovery that topples tough doubts

The bottom line could be a potentially new class of high thermal conductivity materials useful for heat dissipation from power electronics, LEDs, and other applications
