Since the beginning of human creative activity, nature has served as a source of inspiration. That continues to be true for Saikat Basu, an assistant professor in South Dakota State University's Department of Mechanical Engineering, ...
A team of researchers has uncovered new laws governing the flow of fluids through experiments on a technology thousands of years old: a drinking straw. This knowledge could be useful for improving fluid handling in medical ...
To gain a deeper understanding of a wide range of geological processes, such as plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanic diking, we need to have a knowledge of both past and present in situ stress field. In particular, information ...
3D-printing food could address global challenges in food supply and nutrition. But there are hurdles involved in adapting additive manufacturing to produce edible materials.
TDP-43 is an RNA-binding protein that normally resides in the nucleus of neurons but is abnormally located in the cytoplasm of neurons in most patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia, ...
In an effort to mitigate accidental detonations of stored explosives, a multidisciplinary team of Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists developed a way to create "switchable" high explosives that won't detonate unless ...
Some thermostatic vertebrates hibernate in extremely cold environments, while ectothermic animals migrate to relatively warmer areas or produce antifreeze proteins to prevent their body fluids from freezing, as in the case ...
New research led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) provides a better understanding of ejecta production, which has been the subject of broad interest for more than 60 years throughout the scientific community.
Bubble dynamics plays a significant role in mechanics, chemistry, medicine, and biology. Understanding their interactions with the surrounding walls of the container is crucial for numerous applications, including cavitation ...
When it comes to DNA, one pesky mosquito turns out to be a rebel among species.
