In inertial confinement fusion, a capsule of fuel begins at temperatures near zero and pressures close to vacuum. When lasers compress that fuel to trigger fusion, the material heats up to millions of ...

The discovery that some fluorescent proteins are sensitive to magnets could lead to the development of switchable drugs and biosensors.

Scientists have identified the role of an ion channel that plays a key part in how cells break down and recycle components, a discovery that could open the door to new treatment strategies for ...

Forty-five genes that encode kinesin superfamily proteins (also known as KIFs) have been discovered in the mouse and human genomes. KIFs are molecular motors that directionally transport various ...
