Researchers develop "foundational tool" for understanding behavior of hydride superconductors at high pressure
Hydrogen (like many of us) acts weird under pressure. Theory predicts that when crushed by the weight of more than a million times our atmosphere, this light, abundant, normally gaseous element first becomes a metal, and even more strangely, a superc.....»»
Double trouble at chromosome ends: New study alters our understanding of telomere biology
Half a century ago, scientists Jim Watson and Alexey Olovnikov independently realized that there was a problem with how our DNA gets copied. A quirk of linear DNA replication dictated that telomeres that protect the ends of chromosomes should have be.....»»
