Study provides insights into the use of decodable texts in early reading instruction
For young children, taking the first step towards reading can feel like an uphill task. This is because a child might find it easy to recognize individual letters but combining them into sentences can be overwhelming in the beginning. Moreover, the p.....»»
Permeable and robust polymer-silica hybrid armor on cell catalyst for sustainable biomanufacturing
Whole-cell catalysis is one of the several central techniques in green biomanufacturing, which can be categorized into living cell catalysis, resting cell catalysis, and inactivated cell catalysis. Among these, inactivated cell catalysis features the.....»»
Scientists discover genetic "off switch" in legume plants that limits biological ability to source nutrients
A genetic "off switch" that shuts down the process in which legume plants convert atmospheric nitrogen into nutrients has been identified for the first time by a team of international scientists......»»
Experiment captures atoms in free fall to look for gravitational anomalies caused by dark energy
Dark energy—a mysterious force pushing the universe apart at an ever-increasing rate—was discovered 26 years ago, and ever since, scientists have been searching for a new and exotic particle causing the expansion......»»
Researchers map Drosophila"s neural networks that control wing and leg movement
Scientists at the University of Washington and Harvard Medical School, in collaboration with the ESRF, have discovered the neural circuits that coordinate leg and wing movements in the fruit fly (Drosophila). This could lead to a better understanding.....»»
The space bricks have landed
ESA scientists have been exploring how a future moon base might be built from materials on the lunar surface. Inspired by LEGO building, they have used dust from a meteorite to 3D-print "space bricks" to test the idea. ESA's space bricks are on displ.....»»
