The earliest ancestors of all backboned animals, including humans, may have viewed the world with four eyes, not just two. The remnants of those extra eyes persist in the human brain today as the ...

Since statins first came to market in the late 1980s, muscle aches, weakness, and fatigue have driven many patients to ...

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) electrothermal actuators are widely used in applications ranging from micro-optics and ...

Many technological applications, such as sensors and batteries, greatly rely on electrochemical reactions. Improving these ...

Scientists tracked polaron formation for the first time using ultrafast imaging, confirming decades-old predictions about electron energy loss and mass gain in crystal lattices.

A new federally funded study by researchers at Duke University and the University of Pennsylvania offers an unprecedented ...

LMU researchers have directly measured a physical phenomenon that was theoretically described all the way back in 1933 – the polaron.

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron ...

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...

What is connectomics? The field comprehensively mapping connections between synapses to reshape what we know about the brain.
