...scaling for polymer chain scission in turbulence," defines which flow forces and at what levels those forces cause polymers to break in turbulence. "This paper understands how they are breaking in a new way that resolves some issues that have been present for 40 years," Solomon said. The experiments ...

Molecular motors and brakes work together in cells

...otubule. At the tail end, it stops moving and that defines the region of overlap. Our work shows that the cell can make microtubule structures of defined lengths stable by coordinating the sliding of the motors and the slowing of the brakes." If microtubule-based structures are not formed properly because...
