UW scientists unravel critical genetic puzzle for flu virus replication
Like any other organism, an influenza virus's success in life is measured by its genetic track record, its ability to pass on genes from one generation to the next.   view more (2006-01-26)

Measuring Calcium in Serpentine Soils
Serpentine soils contain highly variable amounts of calcium, making them marginal lands for farming. Successful management of serpentine soils requires accurate measurement of the calcium they hold. Research published this month in the Soil Science Society of America Journal shows that multiple... view more (2008-08-20)

Image of myosin-actin interaction revealed in cover story of Molecular Cell
Scientists from the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the University of Vermont have captured the first 3-dimensional (3D) atomic-resolution images of the motor protein myosin V as it "walks" along other proteins, revealing new structural insights that advance the current model... view more (2005-09-30)

New light microscope sharpens scientists' focus
A new light microscope so powerful that it allows scientists peering inside cells to discern the precise location of nearly each individual protein they are studying has been developed and successfully demonstrated by scientists at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus... view more (2006-08-11)

Best Microchemical Study of an Archeomaterial
Bronze age artifacts, physical links between us and people alive 3000 years ago, have long been closely examined with physics-based instruments such as x-ray crystallography and mass spectrometry.   Now scrutiny of microchemical surface properties of such ancient bronze in some... view more (2001-09-04)

New technique measures chemical composition of tiny details
The method which the Eindhoven have developed is based on the radiation emitted by an object when it is irradiated by a beam of electrons. The measurable phenomenon occurs because the electrons in the beam collide with electrons in the atoms making up the object so that they enter an excited state.... view more (2000-01-18)

New graphene transistor promises life after death of silicon chip
Researchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor - a breakthrough that could spark the development of a new type of super-fast computer chip.   view more (2007-03-01)

New particles get a mass boost
A sophisticated, new analysis has revealed that the next frontier in particle physics is farther away than once thought. New forms of matter not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics are most likely twice as massive as theorists had previously calculated, according to a just-published... view more (2007-10-02)

The photonic beetle
Researchers have been unable to build an ideal "photonic crystal" to manipulate visible light, impeding the dream of ultrafast optical computers.   view more (2008-05-20)

Possible evidence of cell division, differentiation found in oldest known embryo fossils
A group of 15 scientists from five countries has discovered evidence of cell differentiation in fossil embryos that are more than 550 million years old.   view more (2006-10-13)

Cholera pathogen reveals how bacteria generate energy to live
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have discovered new details about how bacteria generate energy to live. In two recently published papers, the scientists add key specifics to the molecular mechanism behind the pathogen that causes cholera.   view more (2007-01-30)

Flow of high-pressure form of ice tells tales of interiors of giant icy moons
Everyday ice used to chill that glass of lemonade has helped researchers better understand the internal structure of icy moons in the far reaches of the solar system.   view more (2006-03-03)

Distant black holes may be source of high-energy cosmic rays
Breakthrough astrophysics research may have established the hitherto mysterious source of exceptionally high-energy cosmic ray emissions, according to recently published research that culminates a project developed by a scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory.   view more (2007-11-12)

Researchers 'see' structure of open nicotinic acetylcholine ion channels
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is an essential chemical communicator, carrying impulses from neurons to skeletal muscle cells and many parts of the nervous system.   view more (2008-04-08)

UCSB researchers discover shape matters to macrophages
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have made a surprising discovery: phagocytosis depends more on particle shape than size.   view more (2006-03-22)

Scientists confirm new virus responsible for deaths of transplant recipients in Australia
In the first application of high throughput DNA sequencing technology to investigate an infectious disease outbreak, scientists from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, the Victorian Infectious Diseases Reference Laboratory (VIRDL) in Melbourne, Australia, the Centers for Disease... view more (2008-02-07)

Nano design adjustment may help find, clear some water contaminants
Experiments designed to test discrepancies in theoretical computational chemistry have turned up a barely two-angstrom difference that may lead to a new approach to locate and remove dangerous toxins such as perchlorate and nitrates from the environment.   view more (2006-12-14)

Jupiter`s Electric Aurora
The planet Jupiter has spectacular rings of auroras around each pole but until now scientists have not been able to explain how they form. All auroras are caused by energetic charged particles crashing into the top of the atmosphere and making it glow. In the Earth's auroras, these particles come... view more (2002-03-26)

Mechanisms of cardiovascular disease and cancer give clues to new therapies
Cardiovascular conditions leading to heart attacks and strokes are treated quite separately from common cancers of the prostate, breast or lung, but now turn out to involve some of the same critical mechanisms at the molecular level.   view more (2008-11-24)

New laser technique that strips hydrogen from silicon surfaces
A team of researchers have achieved a long-sought scientific goal: using laser light to break specific molecular bonds. The process uses laser light, instead of heat, to strip hydrogen atoms from silicon surfaces, a key step in the manufacture of computer chips and solar cells.   view more (2006-05-19)

Ice study could stop people slip-sliding away
Going out and about in freezing conditions could become safer thanks to fundamental research at the University of Edinburgh into how we slip on ice.   view more (2004-12-09)

Researchers develop foundation for circuitry and devices based on graphite
Graphite, the material that gives pencils their marking ability, could be the basis for a new class of nanometer-scale electronic devices that have the attractive properties of carbon nanotubes - but could be produced using established microelectronics manufacturing techniques.   view more (2006-03-15)
