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.…
Fossil leaves point to global greening in the…
Analyses of ancient rainforest leaves from New Zealand suggest elevated levels of carbon dioxide went hand-in-hand with an expansion of Earth’s forests. While that situation may be analogous to Earth’s near future, deforestation and climate-change…
Researchers developed modular catalyst that can modify fatty…
Hokkaido University WPI-ICReDD researchers developed a modular catalyst that can accurately modify fatty acid derivatives in a hitherto inaccessible position. This enables the efficient production of valuable compounds from a renewable bioresource, whereas before we…
Patients taking opioids produce antibodies that may hinder…
Eric Hamilton University of Wisconsin–Madison scientists have discovered that a majority of people they tested who were taking opioid painkillers for chronic back pain produced antibodies against the drugs that may contribute to some of…
Real-time observation shows structural dynamic of influenza A…
The real-time visualization of influenza A hemagglutinin (HA) has enhanced the understanding of fusogenic transition of HA and its interactions with host endosomes. A high-speed atomic force microscopy study on a biological event that happens…
