A Journey to Touch the Sun

On August 11, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe took off to travel closer to the Sun, deeper into the solar atmosphere, than any mission before it.

Let’s Get Connected: Understanding Braided River Morphodynamics

There are striking similarities between the structure of natural river networks and others found in systems as diverse as brains, roads and the communication technologies. Using a series of examples, the authors illustrate how a suite of graph theory-based metrics derived from diverse disciplines can be used to provide new insights into the structure and kinematics of braided river networks.

Liquid Shock Absorbers

Liquid Shock Absorbers

Remarkable liquid materials called colloids stiffen under impact. Researchers have studied the effect of powerful impacts such as those produced by firearms or micrometeorites.

RNA Making a Move

RNA Making a Move

Do not expect RNA to sit still. Although structural investigations typically illustrate a single, more or less static picture of an RNA, most RNAs most undergo conformational changes to exert their cellular function.
