Ion channels are narrow passageways that play a pivotal role in many biological processes. To model how ions move through these tight spaces, pores need to be fabricated at very small length scales.

The ocean plays a crucial role in the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). The so-called marine biological carbon pump is an important research topic in this context. However a key component is often ...

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

Schematic of a typical bioreactor. Key components include the reactor tank, agitation system, feeding pump, thermal jacket, submerged aerator, and sensor probes for monitoring and maintaining optimal ...

Scientists from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of California found that exposure to a mixture of synthetic chemicals found widely in the environment alters several critical biological ...

Going with the flow: artist’s impression of the preferential flow of water molecules containing oxygen-17 into a human cell. (Courtesy: PNAS) The effect that nuclear spins have on certain biological ...

Known non-biological sources, from meteorites to surface chemistry, fall short of accounting for organic compounds detected ...

While chronological age is easily measured, it fails to capture the complex biological processes that determine the rate of aging. A new proteomic aging clock may predict biological age, mortality ...

Biological engineering vs. biology are easy to confuse. If you don't want to make that mistake, read on. "Biologist" is an umbrella term encompassing many professions involving studying life and ...

This might be the beginning of arterial calcifications. It is an elekron microscopy image of calcified material forming deposits. This is the first time it was possible to show a biological process ...
