ELECTRONIC WHITE NOISE TRACKS MOLECULAR MOVES

A molecule of medicine which enters a cell receptor would dance with some turns, twists and sputters and then lock with it. In real time, this interaction happens in a nanosecond, making it impossible to watch these movements. But scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have been able to achieve this by fine-tuning an atomic scale instrum ...

Structure Inside Chromosomes Prevent Cell Divison Errors

A new study published in Nature Communications sheds light on the exact interaction between the crucial factors inside chromosomes that cause the formation of a protective barrier inside it. During cell division chromosomes separate into two new cells, called the daughter cells. Errors in this process can cause disease, says the research team from ...

Clever Adaptations That Enable Insects To Thrive Worldwide

Insects like ants, beetles and bugs have managed to survive all over the world- even in Antarctica. There are a minimum of 850,000 known insects worldwide. These organisms evolved to be sturdy and adaptable that all except one (the Permian-Triassic) have survived many mass-extinctions. Here are the reasons how they manage to do it. Firstly, they p ...

Banda Detachment Fault in Eastern Indonesia Studied

For the first time ever, geologists have identified and documented the Banda Detachment fault in eastern Indonesia and have studied how it must have formed. The abyss in the Banda Sea has been known for 90 years, but how it got so deep was unexplained until recently. The research identified a 7 km deep abyss below the Banda Sea which was created by ...
