New research offers key insights into how blood stains cotton fabrics, allowing investigators to gather additional information from forensic evidence. The paper, "Dynamics of blood falling on three types of cotton fabrics ...
Photo-induced force microscopy began as a concept in the mind of Kumar Wickramasinghe when he was employed by IBM in the early years of the new millennium. After he came to the University of California, Irvine in 2006, the ...
Self-labeling protein tags such as SNAP-tag offer the opportunity to attach bright and photostable synthetic fluorophores to proteins of interest for later analysis, and are widely used in biochemistry. Scientists at the ...
A powerful new method to control magnetic behavior in ultra-thin materials could lead to faster, smaller and more energy-efficient technologies, a study suggests.
In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how stretches of DNA form genes, ...
A multinational research team, including engineers from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University, has developed a breakthrough in miniaturized spectrometer technology that could dramatically expand the accessibility ...
Using a high-throughput fluorescence microscopy system and machine learning algorithms, oxidative stress-related changes in protein localization have been mapped by researchers from Japan. Furthermore, a comprehensive database ...
In a world-first pilot study, researchers from the University of South Australia have used video footage of insects to extract their heart rates without touching or disturbing them.
Imagine a space telescope with a mirror stretching 50 meters across! That's larger than the width of a U.K. soccer field and nearly eight times wider than the James Webb Space Telescope. Now imagine that this enormous mirror ...
Archaeologists from the University of Houston working at Caracol in Belize, Central America have uncovered the tomb of Te K'ab Chaak, the first ruler of this ancient Maya city and the founder of its royal dynasty. Now in ...
