Supercooled water hit with lasers displays new properties
Physics Anders Nilsson and his team at Stanford University in California have made forays into understanding the yet unexplored properties of water. They took snapshots of liquid water cooled to-46 °C by shooting a jet of liquid through a vacuum, which cr ...
Protein clumps spread inflammation
Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology Two research teams based in Germany and Spain have discovered that ASC specks—protein aggregations that drive inflammation—are released from dying immune cells. The protein aggregations are a component of infl ...
New laser beams overcome the law of diffraction
Physics In the 1980s, researchers weren’t successful in manipulating micron-size objects with focused laser beams through “optical tweezers” due to the law of diffraction. This law limited the degree to which light can be focused, and most objects smaller ...
First drafts of human proteome produced
Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology Two international teams, one headed by Akhilesh Pandey and the other by Bernhard Küster, have independently analyzed human tissue samples using mass spectrometry and produced the first drafts of the human prot ...
Do bees use a 'cognitive map' to navigate?
Plant and Animal Science It is believed that bees, like birds and butterflies, use the sun as a compass for navigation unlike mammals who use a mental map. However, Randolf Menzel, a neurobiologist at the Free University of Berlin, and his team suggest th ...
The gravitational waves study under criticism
Earth and Planetary Science John Kovac and his team created a sensation when they announced finding the evidence of primordial gravitational waves in March 2014, thus confirming the theory of inflation. However, this study has become embroiled in controve ...
Researchers find microbes that ‘recode,’ flouting DNA code
Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek, California observed that some microbes do not follow the DNA coding, which is considered to consist of universal set of rule ...
Healthy placentas harbor bacteria
Medicine, Health, and Nursing Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, found that placenta, which was thought to be sterile, harbors bacteria. They found that the placental microbiome was most similar to that present in the mouth of no ...
Cause of the mysterious Kawasaki disease discovered
Medicine, Health, and Nursing The exact cause of the enigmatic and potentially lethal Kawasaki disease, which predominantly affects the children in Japan, Hawaii, and Southern California, was unknown to researchers for decades. It was assumed by many scie ...
Proposed experiment would create matter from light
Physics Oliver Pike, a plasma physicist at Imperial College London, and his peers have devised a plan for a device that would use a key piece of fusion equipment to convert light, a form of energy, into particles with mass. This would be possible by smash ...
