Unraveling tautomeric mixtures
A team at HZB has developed a method of experimentally unraveling tautomeric mixtures. Based on resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at BESSY II, not only proportions of the tautomers can be deduced, but the properties of each individual tautom.....»»
Profiling artemisinin"s antimalarial mechanism: Research team reveals crucial target proteins
Jigang Wang and colleagues have made significant progress in unraveling the antimalarial mechanisms of artemisinin (ART) and its derivatives. Their latest research, published in the journal Engineering, sheds light on the crucial target proteins and.....»»
Study shows replanting logged forests with diverse mixtures of seedlings accelerates restoration
Satellite observations of one of the world's biggest ecological experiments on the island of Borneo have revealed that replanting logged forests with diverse mixtures of seedlings can significantly accelerate their recovery......»»
Agriculture study on cover crops mixtures delivers unexpected results
Farmers usually plant cover crops after harvesting their main crop. This prevents erosion of the soil and nutrient leaching. The roots of these crops also stabilize the structure of the soil. It had been assumed that a mixture of different cover crop.....»»
Unraveling a paradox of Himalayan glacier melt
One in five glaciers on Earth are covered with a layer of rocky debris. The presence of debris influences how glaciers melt. In the Himalaya, debris covers most large glaciers, and it is so thick that it should insulate the ice, slowing the rates of.....»»
Climate change impacts are unraveling the fabric of society in the South-West Pacific, says report
Weather-related disasters and climate change impacts are unraveling the fabric of society in the South-West Pacific. Sea level rise threatens the future of low-lying islands while increasing ocean heat and acidification harms vital and vulnerable mar.....»»

High-precision genome sequencing of buckwheat breeds hope for future harvests
A research group led by Kyoto University's Graduate School of Agriculture has deciphered buckwheat's high-precision chromosomal-level genome sequence, a key step toward unraveling the evolution of the buckwheat genome and the origins of the cultivate.....»»
Unraveling the importance of software supply chain security
The software supply chain encompasses the entire lifecycle of a software product, from its conception and development to its distribution and deployment. It involves a complex network of suppliers, vendors, developers, integrators, and users, making.....»»
Unraveling a protein that may inspire a new biotechnology tool
Scientists have unraveled the step-by-step activation process of a protein with a deep evolutionary history in all domains of life, opening the door to harnessing its functions for use as a biotechnology tool......»»
Unraveling the Loch Ness Monster"s eel connection
In a new study published in JMIRx Bio, scientist Floe Foxon explores whether the Loch Ness Monster, a creature in Scottish folklore, could be a giant eel. Using previous estimates of the monster's size to predict the probability of encountering a lar.....»»
Unraveling a debate on insect cognition
There's a debate among insect-cognition researchers, but the two camps have been arguing for so many decades that many onlookers are no longer sure what they are arguing about. SFI Postdoctoral Fellow Kelle Dhein, a philosopher and historian, has pub.....»»
Unraveling the mystery of semi-extractable RNAs from human cell lines
Membraneless organelles (MLOs), also known as "biomolecular condensates," are formed by the biological process of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). MLOs are highly dynamic bodies containing proteins and nucleic acids......»»
Droplet levitation: A new way to explore airborne viruses and microorganisms
Self-sustained levitation of millimeter-sized droplets was recently discovered by researchers at Tyumen State University, in Russia, during an experiment to select combinations of immiscible liquids, which don't form homogeneous mixtures......»»
Unraveling the hidden growth of mineral dendrites
An international research team involving scientists from the University of Vienna, the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw and University of Edinburgh has described the process of growing three-dimensional manganese dendrites. The research.....»»
Unraveling the super-complex structure of supercooled liquids
When cooled to their freezing point, most liquids become solids or crystallize. In other words, the molecules arrange themselves in a perfectly ordered fashion, which physicists call a crystal. Supercooled liquids are different; they do not form such.....»»
Rainfall"s impact on pollutants: Unraveling the Tibetan Plateau"s enigmatic dance
A research team led by Prof. Zhao Chun from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) revealed the influence of rainfall on the inter-annual variation of pollutants over the Tibetan Plateau. The.....»»
Surface-enhanced vibrational circular dichroism for chiral mixture sensing
Chiral molecules can present different chemical properties. For applications like drug delivery and diagnosis, it is important to detect chiral signals in mixtures. Although electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy has been reported many time.....»»
