Jul 07, 2022 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Spontaneous charging of interfaces between water and hydrophobic (ie, water-repelling) media is a mysterious feature whose nature and origin – despite many efforts to explain them – are still not fully understood. For instance, experiments reveal that water interfaces with immiscible liquids such as oil droplets, solid hydrophobic polymers, hydrophobic … Read more
A team of researchers led by the University of Bern has for the first time identified an unexpected richness of complex organic molecules at a comet. This was achieved thanks to the analysis of data collected during ESA’s Rosetta mission at comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko, also known as Chury. Delivered to the early Earth by … Read more
Subjects in an experimental group were granted a monetary bonus to punish others; however, being paid to punish made them less inclined to do so. The Rady School of Management at UC San Diego is conducting research to see if providing incentives might reduce violence. According to research from the Rady School of Management at … Read more

Receptors found on cell surfaces bind to hormones, proteins, and other molecules, helping cells respond to their environment. MIT chemists have now discovered how one of these receptors changes its shape when it binds to its target, and how those changes trigger cells to grow and proliferate. This receptor, known as epidermal growth factor receptor … Read more
Though they are discrete particles, water molecules flow collectively as liquids, producing streams, waves, whirlpools, and other classic fluid phenomena. Not so with electricity. While an electric current is also a construct of distinct particles – in this case, electrons – the particles are so small that any collective behavior among them is drowned out … Read more
After nearly 20 years of work, much of it at Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source, researchers have a clearer picture of the “gatekeeper” of the nucleus and a better idea of how it works. The nucleus of every cell in our bodies contains many complicated parts. One of the most intricate is called the nuclear pore … Read more

On Tuesday, July 5, at a giant underground compound in Meyrin, Switzerland, physicists announced that they had discovered three “exotic” particles, never before seen by science – a feat accomplished via the world’s largest ring of superconducting magnets, also known as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). For anyone who had gotten their science news from … Read more
