130 years after a fungus-eating plant received its name, a Kobe University researcher has uncovered the purpose of the structure that inspired its name—revealing a novel mechanism by which plants ...

Skyrmions, in which electron spins inside a magnet are arranged like vortices, are a key structure in next-generation spintronics technology. KAIST researchers have shown that skyrmions can form using ...

Salk Institute researchers, in collaboration with National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientists, have discovered the molecular mechanisms by which human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) becomes resistant ...

Understanding the microstructure of materials such as rubber and thermoplastics can help design materials’ macrostructure properties. Microscopy can provide useful information in designing soft ...

Chemerin is a key adipokine—a signaling protein released by adipose tissue—that regulates lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity and thus is involved in many metabolic diseases such as obesity and ...

The (a) schematic structure and (b) the working mechanism of the photodetector made from recycled PbI2 microcrystals is shown. The photodetector showed excellent stability, repeatability and fast ...
