Whether they're running from bears in Kamchatka, building a lab deep underground, making fuel-efficient race cars, or monitoring climate change at far-flung locales, scientists often engage in extreme research.
In a recent experiment, scientists have discovered that the interface between the surface and bulk electronic structures of certain crystalline materials can act in much the same way as ice crystals do when a skater or skier glides across them.
Cells often multi-task when synthesizing and splicing RNA. But when unconventional splicing is required, they synthesize first and splice later, according to a recent study.
The organization hopes to advance the practice of lab automation and develop the field of laboratory automation engineering as it is applied to all scientific/laboratory work.
This year's symposium will recognize the development and application of portable handheld x-ray fluorescence spectrometers and will focus primarily on the later generation of products that continue to drive explosive growth in XRF use in the field.
Asia's leading drug discovery research & development organization, announced today that it has entered into a drug discovery alliance with the Moulder Center for Drug Discovery Research at Temple University.
Scientists can now take that "a-ha" moment to go with a method Princeton University researchers developed — and successfully tested — to speed up the chances of an unexpected yet groundbreaking chemical discovery.
Goyal was named a winner of the Department of Energy's Ernest Orlando Lawrence Award honoring U.S. scientists and engineers for exceptional contributions in research and development supporting DOE and its mission.
Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers and scientists from the French space institute IRAP are poised to begin focusing the energy of a million light bulbs on the surface of the Red Planet to help determine whether Mars was or is habitable.
A new class of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic microscope has been developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The microscope will be used for advanced research on a wide range of technologically important materials systems.
Deputy Agriculture Undersecretary for Rural Development Doug O'Brien recently announced that the United States Department of Agriculture is funding a series of projects to convert biomass to energy through USDA's Rural Energy for America program.
