The researchers, who include Logan, Yi Zuo, Penn State graduate student in environmental engineering, and Pin-Ching Maness, senior scientist, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, report that "the conversion of organic matter to elec...

University of Delaware researchers develop cancer 'nanobomb'

...xposed to light and the resulting heat, they start exploding one after another." The bombs are created by bundling the carbon nanotubes. With a single nanotube, the heat generated by the light is dissipated by surrounding air. In bundles, the heat cannot dissipate as quickly and the result is "an explosion ...

Anti-cancer Compound In Beer Gaining Interest

...literature and research on its properties are just exploding at this point, and there's a great deal of interest." Quite a bit is now known about the biological mechanism of action of this compound and the ways it may help prevent cancer or have other metabolic value. But even before most of those studies hav...

NYU, Rockefeller researchers find complexity of regulation by microRNA genes

...hat computational methods, in conjunction with the exploding amounts of available sequence data from different species, have the power to not only arrive at large-scale and yet specific, testable predictions for gene regulation, but also to produce new general insights into how gene regulation is organized in ...

RNA project to create language for scientists worldwide

...cleic acids (RNA)--the building blocks of life--is exploding as scientists worldwide discover the roles of RNA in genetics, health, disease and the development of organisms. The rapidly growing body of knowledge has created the need for researchers to develop a shared vocabulary and system for describing, cata...
