Lithium was supposed to be soft. The metal bends easily in bulk form, stretches before it breaks, and deforms the way you ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Lithium dendrites, i.e. tiny crystalline thorns that grow off of lithium-ion battery anodes during charging, have been a ...

The price of covering a room in the prized pigment was equal to between 50% and 90% of a Roman legionary's annual salary, a ...

Cells behave like cities and organelles carry out infrastructural roles: mitochondria are powerhouses, the endoplasmic reticulum serves as a transport hub and lysosomes help with waste disposal.

AN international team of scientists has created a molecule unlike any previously known, demonstrating how quantum computing ...

Discover how Imaris 11 streamlines image analysis with automated workflows, reproducibility tools, and powerful batch processing.

Scientists offer new insight into how the body detects light touch and how disruptions in that process may contribute to sensory disorders.

Scientists have uncovered surprising complexity in a tiny sensory structure found in comb jellies, some of the oldest animals on Earth.

For the first time, scientists have observed how tiny metal "thorns" called dendrites sprout inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause the batteries to short-circuit. Their findings, published in ...

Under the microscope, plankton becomes an unlikely star as artist Jess Holz documents their movements to highlight both their ...
