Researchers have developed a new type of bifocal lens that offers a simple way to achieve two foci (or spots) with ...

Computational methods in elucidating structural, functional, and dynamical properties of biomolecules have become ...

By improving capacity and making batteries safer and more efficient, we can extend their lifespans and reduce the need for ...

Materials are crucial to modern technology, especially those used in extreme environments like nuclear energy systems and military applications. These materials need to withstand intense pressure ...

Unearthing new LEDs, solar cells, and photodetectors requires extensive knowledge surrounding the optical properties of materials. Calculating these takes time and resources. Yet researchers unveiled ...

Brefeldin A esterase (BFAE), a detoxifying enzyme isolated from Bacillus subtilis, hydrolyzes and inactivates BFA, a potent fungal inhibitor of intracellular vesicle-dependent secretory transport ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team. DNA is widely accepted to be formed of two strands that wind around one ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

Hexagonal close packing is one of two crystal structures that derive from stacking close-packed-planes of hard sphere atoms. In the HCP structure only two stacking ...

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.

This valuable report describes the changing antiviral activity of IFIT1 across mammals and in response to distinct viruses, likely as a result of past arms races. One of the main strengths of the ...
