“Our lab uses different polymers to interact with the nervous system. We think there's a window after injury that seems to mirror development,” said Paul George, a physician scientist at Stanford ...

Red arrows indicate the nuclear spin axes at the positions of the N3 nitrogen atoms on the guanine (G) bases. Due to the helical structure of DNA, there is an angular deviation in the orientation of ...

In the summer of 1986, futuristic magnetic trains and life-size robots drew a teenaged Michael Levin to the Vancouver World’s Expo. But what changed his life was an obscure used book he found on the ...

The operation of a contactless electric bell is based on a change in the electrical resistance of a temperature-sensitive element (thermistor) when a finger approaches the bell button or upon contact ...

Scientists have predicted new physics governing compression of water under a high-gradient electric field. Physicists found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) Spectroscopy is an advanced nuclear technique that probes the local structural and electronic environments in solids by monitoring the angular correlations between ...

Diffusiophoresis refers to the directed motion of colloidal particles driven by gradients in solute concentration, whereas electrokinetic phenomena encompass a broad range of transport processes ...

We analyse electric field gradient (or quadrupole) effects in the anti-plane problem of a small, circular inclusion in polarized ceramics. An exact solution is obtained. The solutions show that, ...

Before sunlight ever reached the planet, another force may have sparked life—electricity. Deep beneath the ocean floor, ancient hydrothermal vents might have generated natural electric fields strong ...
