Induced-fit adsorbent for acetylene
We often say that a substrate fits into its enzyme like a key in a lock, but this metaphor is imperfect. Substrate binding can also change the lock (the structure of the enzyme) to induce a perfect fit. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, an internatio.....»»

Anatomy of an earthquake series
An international team led by scientists at GFZ Helmholtz Centre Potsdam, in collaboration with colleagues by Spanish, Italian and US institutions, is publishing a new scientific work on induced seismicity in Europe in the Journal Nature Communic.....»»
How Uber plans to rebound from massive Q2 losses stemming from driver incentives
Uber’s second-quarter earnings revealed greater than expected losses, in large part due to the company’s massive $250 million stimulus package launched in April to incentivize drivers back onto the app after a pandemic-induced shortage. Th.....»»
Molecular mechanism of ruthenium-complex-induced DNA phase separation revealed
The phenomenon of "liquid-liquid" phase separation (LLPS) of biological macromolecules in living cells regulates many cell activities......»»
Mobility restrictions can have unexpected impacts on air quality
Reduced mobility induced by the COVID-19 restrictions had only minor influence on particulate pollution levels, according to atmosphere studies in the Po Valley region of northern Italy. Eventually computer simulations indicated that the change in ai.....»»
How caring for children can help Aboriginal Elders during lockdown
Pandemic-induced lockdowns have provided stories of both hardship and resilience. This extends to families in the community caring for children in out-of-home care, a group which has weathered unique challenges as children are physically and sometime.....»»
Highlights of the day: Foundry houses gear up for car chips
Demand from the car sector has been strong, and foundry houses are stepping up efforts to rolling out more automotive chips. Apple's manufacturing partners are seeing COVID-induced disruptions to their production in Vietnam, and will have to move pod.....»»
Review evaluates the evidence for an intensifying Indian Ocean water cycle
The Indian Ocean has been warming much more than other ocean basins over the last 50-60 years. While temperature changes basin-wide can be unequivocally attributed to human-induced climate change, it is difficult to assess whether contemporary heat a.....»»
Researchers estimate extraordinary carbon emissions from El Nino-induced biomass burning
Equatorial Asia, which includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and surrounding areas, experienced devastating biomass burning in 2015 due to the severe drought condition induced by the extreme El Niño and a positive anomaly of the Indian Oce.....»»
Near-infrared synergy therapy for cancer nanoclusters
As a minimally-invasive method for cancer therapy at precise locations, NIR-induced photothermal therapy (PTT) has drawn extensively attention. The therapeutic mechanism is the use of photothermal agents (PTAs) in the treatment of tumors,and its ther.....»»
Researchers record brainwaves to measure "cybersickness"
In a new study, researchers used electroencephalography to better understand and work toward solutions for virtual reality-induced discomfort......»»
How vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) happens
Researchers recently discovered how, exactly, the COVID-19 vaccines that use adenovirus vectors trigger a rare but sometimes fatal blood clotting reaction called vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, or VITT......»»
How information beyond the genetic sequence is encoded in plant sperm
Hereditary information is passed from parent to offspring in the genetic code, DNA, and epigenetically through chemically induced modifications around the DNA......»»
Apple and Snap partner JigSpace, the ‘Canva for 3D,’ raises a $4.7M Series A
When former Art Director Zac Duff started teaching a game development course online in 2015, he faced the same challenges that teachers around the globe have become all too familiar with after a pandemic-induced lockdown. So, he used his experience i.....»»
Old oil fields may be less prone to induced earthquakes
Subsurface carbon sequestration—storing carbon inrocks deep underground—offers a partial solution for removing carbon fromthe atmosphere. Used alongside emissions reductions, geologic carbonsequestration could help mitigate anthropogenic climate.....»»
Taiwan diode makers see clear order visibility through end-2021
Taiwan-based power diode suppliers have seen clear order visibility through the end of this year, as coronavirus-induced stay-at-home activities continue to spur demand, coupled with a surge in demand for automotive electronics, according to industry.....»»
Recommendations for reproducibility in stem cell research
The ability to program induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and drive their differentiation into a variety of neural cells is essential for studying neurological disorders, including intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs). But issues re.....»»
A quarter of global harvests at risk if agriculture does not adapt to climate change
Shifts in weather patterns induced by climate change will increase extreme heat and reduce rainfall across major crop growing regions, with impacts on agricultural production. Will this trigger a decline in the supply of calories needed to sustain th.....»»
X-ray flash imaging of laser-induced bubbles and shockwaves in water
Researchers have created tiny bubbles in high-pressure water via intense focused lasers. Under these conditions, the bubbles expand at supersonic speed and push a shockwave consisting of a spherical shell of highly compressed water. The research team.....»»
Watch this: crushes and queues as gamers struggle to grab new Nvidia RTX cards
We all know the availability problems of graphics cards, the result of pandemic-induced unprecedented demand, cryptominers, and scalpers. It means that on those rare occasions when there is stock in retail stores, people turn up en masse and swamp th.....»»
