The University of Osaka researcher shows that solid-state hysteresis can be described using thermodynamic state variables When the input variable X is changed as X0→X1→X0, the response Y of the system varies as A→B→C →D→A.…
Clearer picture of watershed quality helps people put…
MADISON — It may be easy to argue that cleaning up a river is inherently good, but it’s far harder to put a monetary value on the outcome of a clean-up — especially when each…
Researchers Shed Further Light onto Zinc Homeostasis in…
A research group has unearthed how zinc transporter complexes regulate zinc ion (Zn2+) concentrations in different areas of the Golgi apparatus and revealed that this mechanism finely tunes the chaperone protein ERp44. The findings, which…
Laser-induced Monolayer Graphene Nanoprocessing
Illustration of a graphene film being hole-drilled by laser irradiation. The size of the carbon atoms is exaggerated and differs from the actual size. IMAGE: Yuuki Uesugi Tohoku University researchers have applied their simple femtosecond…
LHC experiments see first evidence of a rare…
The discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 marked a significant milestone in particle physics. Since then, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have been diligently investigating the properties of this unique particle and…
