"ZIP" codes tell RNA molecules how to get to their designated locations
They say that life comes without an instruction manual, but that's not entirely true. Each cell in our bodies lives according to instructions issued by its DNA in the form of RNA molecules. RNA was recently thrust into the limelight as the basis of i.....»»

Structural isomerization of individual molecules using a scanning tunneling microscope probe
An international research team has succeeded for the first time in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team, led by NIMS, the Osaka University Graduate School of Science and the Kanazawa University.....»»
Weather swings bring steadier results when studying crop adaptability
Efforts to breed more adaptable crops benefit from testing locations with wide ranges of weather, according to a research team led by an Iowa State University professor......»»
New findings explain how soil traps plant-based carbon
When carbon molecules from plants enter the soil, they hit a definitive fork in the road. Either the carbon gets trapped in the soil for days or even years, where it is effectively sequestered from immediately entering the atmosphere. Or it feeds mic.....»»
How to avoid a "winner"s curse" for social programs
Back in the 1980s, researchers tested a job-training program called JOBSTART in 13 U.S. cities. In 12 locations, the program had a minimal benefit. But in San Jose, California, results were good: After a few years, workers earned about $6,500 more an.....»»
Researchers use supercomputer to determine whether "molecules of life" can be formed naturally in right conditions
Basic biology textbooks will tell you that all life on Earth is built from four types of molecules: proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. And each group is vital for every living organism......»»
Sedimentary records of contaminant inputs in Frobisher Bay provide record of changes in contaminant levels over decades
Although contaminant levels in Arctic environments are often lower than those in temperate locations close to cities and industrial areas, contaminant studies in the Arctic remain important due to the potential for bioaccumulation and biomagnificatio.....»»
Apple Vision Pro demos for walk-in retail customers start today, reservations to begin next week

Meta joins list of companies that disapprove of Apple"s DMA response
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's DMA compliance makes it "difficult for anyone" to adopt, including Meta.Meta Quest 3The European Union created the Digital Markets Act to combat companies designated as gatekeepers from monopolizing their platfor.....»»
Transcription factor"s key role in grafted cucumbers reveals salt tolerance in crops
Soil salinity, impacting about 1 billion square hectometers worldwide, significantly hinders crop growth. Plants counteract this through signaling pathways involving molecules such as H2O2 and ABA. NAC transcription factors, which are unique to plant.....»»
Apple Car could automatically pick you up, take you home, and play your music on the way
Apple has been researching how an Apple Car could reduce how a driver even needs to think about destinations, music or air conditioning, by recognizing passengers and re-routing locations.Starting a SharePlay session in CarPlayIf you thought it was g.....»»
New research brings order to disordered proteins
Protein molecules lie at the heart of biology. Our typical understanding of proteins states that each type of protein has a specific three-dimensional shape that enables it to perform its function. This dogma is challenged by intrinsically disordered.....»»
A new wavelength of scientific exploration with single-photon detectors
From the minuscule bindings of molecules to the far reaches of space, we're exploring the universe around us by catching sight of the smallest particles of light......»»
Physicists develop novel concept for detecting chiral molecules
In contrast to conventional mirrors, light can be reflected on surfaces known as metasurfaces without changing its polarization. This phenomenon has now been proven by physicists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and the Ma.....»»
Researchers investigate the nature of a recently discovered very-high-energy source
Using XMM-Newton, Chandra and NuSTAR space telescopes, an international team of astronomers has explored the nature of a recently-detected very-high-energy source designated 2FHL J1745.1–3035. Results of the study, published Jan. 24 on the pre-prin.....»»
New Wolf in the pack: Astronomers discover an ultra-short-period super-Earth
Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new ultra-short-period exoplanet. The newfound alien world, designated Wolf 327 b, is slightly larger and about 2.5 times more massive th.....»»
