As Californians rejected Proposition 37, which would have required labeling of food that’s been genetically modified, debate continues on the health implications of eating such foods.
As black holes go, Sagittarius A* is relatively low-key. The black hole at the center of our galaxy emits very little energy for its size, giving off roughly as much energy as the sun, even though it is 4 million times as massive.
A new type of nanoscale molecular trap makes it possible for industry to store large amounts of hydrogen in small fuel cells or capture, compact and remove volatile radioactive gas from spent nuclear fuel in an affordable, easily commercialized way.
Rats use a sense that humans don’t: “whisking.” They move their facial whiskers back and forth about eight times a second to locate objects in their environment. Could humans acquire this sense?
Sandia National Laboratories has signed a pair of cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs) that could broadly add to the labs’ research into combustion, defense, energy and nuclear security.
A research team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a model* for making quantifiable predictions of how a group of cells will react and change in response to a given environment or stimulus—and how quickly.
While medicine has treated bacterial infections in one of two ways— either killing the tiny organisms or slowing down their growth— doctors may soon have yet another weapon in the fight against pathogenic bacteria.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is one of six Department of Energy (DOE) sites that will receive funding along with 22 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), for research areas in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
