In a series of experiments on lanthanum superhydride with impurities, researchers from Skoltech, Lebedev Physical Institute of RAS and their colleagues from the United States, Germany and Japan, have established the mechanism behind the highest-tempe.....»»
Components suppliers brace for hinge minimization trend for foldable handsets
Samsung Electronics has minimized the hinge mechanism in its newly unveiled foldable smartphones to cut production costs and make them slimmer and lighter, and other vendors including Huawei are all moving to follow suit, a development likely to affe.....»»
One of 5G’s biggest features is a security minefield
There are vulnerabilities in 5G platforms carriers offer to wrangle embedded device data. Enlarge (credit: Anton Petrus | Getty) True 5G wireless data, with its ultrafast speeds and enhanced security protections, has been sl.....»»
Team finds new mechanism for heterochromatin establishment and transcriptional silencing in rice crop fungus
Rice is one of the most important crops in the world, particularly in China. The rice yield is most severely hindered by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. According to the National Agro-Tech Extension and Service Center, approximately 400 acres of rice.....»»
Scientists identify mechanism crucial for COVID-19 virus replication
A team led by UT Southwestern researchers has identified how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, builds a structure called the RNA cap that's critical for successful viral replication. The finding, published in Nature, could lead to new strat.....»»
Novel approach for generating coherent and ultrashort soft X-ray pulses
A research team from Shanghai Advanced Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed an external seeding mechanism, termed echo-enabled harmonic cascade (EEHC), for generating coherent and ultrashort soft X-ray pulses......»»
Apple trees" natural response to virus mirrors genetic modification mechanism, study shows
Apple trees respond to a common viral infection by targeting a gene in the same pathway that genetic scientists are aiming at, find scientists from The University of Manchester. The discovery published in Current Biology shows that the fruit trees, w.....»»
Team discovers new plant gene reprogramming mechanism
Researchers Albert Cairó and Karel Riha of the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) and their colleagues have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that is responsible for reprogramming gene expression in plants during the transitio.....»»
Scientists identify key mechanism controlling skin regeneration
It's sunburn season. Many of us have experienced the pain and peeling that comes from unprotected time in the sun, but we may not focus on a remarkable and vital part of the process: the regeneration of skin as the damaged tissue is replaced with new.....»»
New materials research sees transformations at an atomic level
When manufacturing techniques turn metals, ceramics or composites into a technologically useful form, understanding the mechanism of the phase transformation process is essential to shape the behavior of those high-performance materials. Seeing those.....»»
How the genome is packed into chromosomes that can be faithfully moved during cell division
Researchers from the Gerlich Group at IMBA—Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences—discovered a molecular mechanism that confers special physical properties to chromosomes in dividing human cells to enable their f.....»»
"Youngest" antibiotic kills bacteria via a new two-step mechanism
Scientists at Utrecht University have discovered a new mechanism antibiotics use to kill bacteria. The antibiotic teixobactin uses a dual molecular strategy: it blocks the bacterial cell wall synthesis and destructs the cell membrane, the researchers.....»»
How highly resistant strains of fungi emerge
An international research team has deciphered the mechanism by which the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans is resistant to fungus-specific drugs. It is a yeast-like fungus that can infect humans. Specific drugs, named antifungals, are available for trea.....»»
