Researchers measured entropic forces exerted by rod-shaped viruses on particles in water, revealing additional effects of flexibility. The findings suggest that flexible viruses can effectively occupy more space, driving rearrangements in the system and increasing attraction between spheres.
Researchers compared two measuring techniques to quantify the effects of atmospheric particles on climate change. They found agreement between methods within 20% during polluted conditions, paving the way for more accurate global measurements.
Researchers compared local and remote aerosol measurement techniques to better understand their chemistry and physics. The study used a combination of ground-based instruments and satellite lidar to analyze pollution levels and their impact on climate change.
Researchers found that aged varnish molecules contribute to the typical yellow discoloration of old-master paintings. The study suggests that larger molecules in the varnish layer are harder to dissolve during restoration processes.
Researchers have found that tiny air pollutant particles can penetrate deeper into the lungs of healthy adults, potentially threatening their health. The study suggests that these particles can move up to two times faster through the airways than previously assumed, with implications for public health and environmental regulations.
Researchers at Duke University discovered that granular particles can form dramatic chains to relieve stress, leading to potential explanations for self-destruction in passive containers. The study may also shed light on natural phenomena like earthquakes and the behavior of materials under low gravity.
The vaccine aims to prevent HPV-related warts and cervical cancer in women, with 5,000 deaths occurring annually in the US. The study will verify safety and immune response, paving the way for a broader vaccine protecting against multiple HPV types.
