In the frozen reaches of the planet—glaciers, mountaintops, and icy groundwater—scientists have uncovered strange ...

For years, scientists have debated whether a giant thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean during the coldest ...

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an environmentally safer type of plastic that can be used for ...

Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Geometric aspects associated with the hierarchical and heterogeneous packing of crumpled wires are reviewed. The recently discovered phenomenon of condensation of elastic energy of curvature in these ...

Although phonon calculations in molecular crystals do not fundamentally differ from those in other solids, it is important to highlight certain characteristics that are common to the broader class of ...

The heterogeneous solid–gas reactions of crystals of [Rh(L2)(propene)][BArF4] (1, L2 = tBu2PCH2CH2PtBu2) with H2 and propene, 1-butene, propyne, or 1-butyne are explored by gas-phase nuclear magnetic ...
