But the overlapping views provided by the multi-aperture sensor provide backups when pixels ...'Microfluidic palette' may paint clearer picture of biological processes
... three inlets of the system. For each dye, an independent gradient forms that remains constant as long as flow rate into the system does not change. overlapping the three gradients results in a blend of dye concentrations in which the combination of colors at one location is distinctly different from any ...Jet-propelled imaging for an ultrafast light source
... be diffracted from another copy of the protein in a different orientation. As the process is repeated, diffractions from different angles give the overlapping views needed for the computer to construct a 3-D image of the structure. It's a great idea, but as Spence notes, there are a few problems. "So as ...Dogs, humans, put heads together to find cure for brain cancer

... said. "Although future work is needed to elucidate the nature of the relationship between empathy, spatial abilities and their potentially overlapping neural underpinnings, this work provides initial evidence that empathy might be, in part, spatially represented." "We use spatial manipulations ...The secret of a snake's slither
... study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences says that it's all in their design--specifically, their scales. overlapping belly scales provide friction with the ground that gives snakes a preferred direction of motion, like the motion of wheels or ice skates. Like wheels ...'Disordered' amino acids may really be there to provide wiggle room for signaling protein

... With antisense regulation, control is effected instead through the production of mutually stabilising or destructive RNA molecules by genes with overlapping sequences, which determines whether or not the RNA molecules form proteins. "At least 20 per cent of all genes can be regulated by antisense RNA, ...'Nanonet' circuits closer to making flexible electronics reality
