Dutch researchers develop a new computational model that could help turbine designers manage large uncertainties in wind and wave behavior.
Moving messengers making their way to the limelight
Every gene found in our DNA exerts its action via the activity of its encoded protein product. However, the synthesis of the protein cannot take place directly from the gene. An intermediate messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule is first produced from the gene via a process...
A fail-safe to keep batteries from catching fire
A “spillway” for electrons could keep lithium metal batteries from catching fire.
How global datasets can advance our understanding of a rapidly changing world
Researchers have created and structured a collection of freely accessible global datasets to support future studies on floods, droughts, and their interactions with changing societies.
An exoplanet that rains iron
ESO telescope oberves an exoplanet 690 light years away where night and day surface temperature differences cause iron to rain from the sky.
Rethinking plastics production and recycling
A new route to synthesize plastics not only moves away from fossil fuels but enhances the likelihood of recycling.
Is Uber equally accessible everywhere?
Researchers study factors that affect the accessibility of ride-sharing programs such as Uber in Philadelphia.
An ultrathin membrane for gas purification
Researchers fabricate a highly selective ZIF‐8 gas separation membrane.
Encoding molecular interactions: Advancing drug design
Researchers from Freie Universität Berlin explore the impact of 3D pharmacophores on drug discovery, as well as recent developments in the field.
Building a lemon bioeconomy with green technology
Today’s green chemistry technologies open the route to a broader and richer economy for lemons, well beyond the fresh fruit and fruit juice markets.
