New Satellite-Based Maps to Aid in Climate Forecasts
New, detailed maps of the world's natural landscapes created using NASA satellite data could help scientists better predict the impacts of future climate change.
Leading bugs to the death chamber: A kinder face of cholesterol
Phagosomes carried by the Motors initially move in a back-and-forth manner near the cell periphery, and mature by fusing with other compartments. As time passes, there is a switch that causes the phagosomes to move in an almost unidirectional manner...
Graphene is strong, but is it tough? Berkeley Lab scientists find that polycrystalline graphene is not very resistant to fracture
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed the first known statistical theory for the toughness of polycrystalline graphene, which is made with chemical vapor deposition, and found...
