Phosphorus, a key ingredient in fertilizers, is running out. The world's food systems depend on phosphorus mined from limited ...

Understanding how cells turn genes on and off is one of biology's most enduring mysteries. Now, a new technology developed by chemist Brian Liau and his collaborators at Harvard offers an ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new reduced switch-count power cell for a regenerative Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) motor drive that reduces the number of switching devices per power cell from ten switches ...

During Earth’s early days, bacteria developed a self-destruct strategy for detecting and destroying phages before they’re able to take over the cell’s machinery. While this does wonders for our immune ...

Perovskite, discovered by scientists nearly 200 years ago, has only recently come to be seen as a promising element for creating cheap and efficient solar cells. Although this mineral is quite rare on ...

Durable reprogramming of human T cells may now be possible thanks to a new technique based on the CRISPRoff and CRISPRon methodology. Researchers from the Arc Institute, Gladstone Institutes, and the ...

The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent ...
