For example, a robotic arm drops protein solution into thousands of tiny wells for crystallization trials, and an imaging system quickly scans the wells looking for signs of crystal formation ?key to capturing protein structures. “At this large scale, it would be unthinkable to do all these steps by han...

New insight into people who 'see' colors in letters and numbers

...olleagues are using the condition to gain insights into the neural basis of perception. In their experiments with synesthetes who report seeing colors when they view numbers or letters, the researchers first sought to determine whether synesthetes really see the colors. In one such experiment, they pres...
