In a unique experiment of its kind, the unique conditions of space flight were used to examine how the cells remain healthy or succumb to infection with human cells. At 3:21 am PDT on April 5, researchers at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, will see their latest experiment launched into Earth orbit on [...]
The civil structures are prone to damage processes during continuous and uncontrollable life cycle. These processes are attributed to damage to poor maintenance and aging. To improve security, we need a continuous monitoring system. Several screening methods are available to assess the condition of civil structures, however, are often used infrequently because of the high [...]
An old dream has come true scientist. Observe a chemical molecule microscopy. It may seem a piece of honeycomb, but this picture as a lattice is the first close view of a single molecule that IBM scientists were able through an atomic force microscope (AFM) to reveal for the first time, the chemical bonds within [...]
The nanoscience and nanotechnology can help India to ensure food security through increased crop yields and reducing consumption, according to P. Somasundaran, a well known name in the field of nanotechnology. “Nanoscience and nanotechnology can be used to secure the necessary supply of water and nutrients to crops, increasing yield and reducing waste,” said Somasundaran.
Why are coral bleaching in the world? Does global warming affect this process? What role microorganisms play in this process? These and other questions the researchers from six institutions addressed by a technology similar to that used by the physician performing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The scientists studied how the metabolic activity of a pathogen [...]
