Testing antibacterial surfaces on the International Space Station
Humans breathe out a lot of microbes that can make homes on surfaces inside the ISS. Enlarge / Because particles that astronauts breathe out can drift for a while before settling, most surfaces in the International Space Station.....»»
A growth-mindset intervention boosts interest in math and science among liberal arts students
College students are often urged to "find" their passion, but such advice could discourage them from exploring other disciplines or developing new skills if they feel their passion or interests have already been "found." A new study by Yale-NUS Colle.....»»

Beneficial "bioaeorosols" are in the air we breathe—and they"re fast disappearing
With air pollution and airborne contaminants emerging as leading causes of illness and death, ecologists are calling for closer examination of the 'invisible friends' which live in the 15,000 liters of air we breathe every day......»»
Laser physicists directly observe first femtoseconds after photoinjection
A laser pulse hits an electron in a solid. If it receives enough energy from the light wave, it can then move freely through a solid. This phenomenon, which scientists have been exploring since the beginnings of quantum mechanics, is called photoinje.....»»
Danish researcher and NASA predict how many people will die from air pollution in the future
They come from factory stacks, car exhaust pipes and cruise liner engines. They are tiny particles and they are all around us. When we breathe in air, these particles settle in the small vessels of our lungs, and they make us sick......»»
How the epigenetic landscape modulates pioneer transcription factor binding
Like thread tightly wrapped around a spool, DNA is wrapped around histones and packaged into structures called nucleosomes. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are exploring how a type of transcription factor called a pioneer transcri.....»»
