Originally published by The Journal of Cell Biology-Researchers at Warwick Medical School have identified the key role played by a team of proteins in the process of mitosis. Working out how to control them may give scientists a way to destroy cancerous cells.
Originally published by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences-Future warming from fossil fuel burning could be more intense and longer-lasting than previously thought. This prediction emerges from a new study by Richard Zeebe at the University of Hawai’i who includes insights from episodes of climate change in the geologic past to inform projections of human-made future climate change.
Originally published by ScienceDaily – If history’s closest analog is any indication, the look of the oceans will change drastically in the future as the coming greenhouse world alters marine food webs and gives certain species advantages over others.
Originally published by Nature – Intrinsic inefficiencies plague current systems for the generation and delivery of electricity, with significant energy lost in transit. High-temperature superconductors (HTS) — uniquely capable of transmitting electricity with zero loss when chilled to subzero temperatures — could revolutionize the planet’s aging and imperfect energy infrastructure, but the remarkable materials remain fundamentally puzzling to physicists
Originally published by ScienceDaily-It may be called the Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM), but NASA’s RRM was built to demonstrate much more than the clever ways space robots can fill up satellites. New Hardware for a New Era of Satellite-Servicing Demonstrations
