Scientists are always looking for better ways to study proteins. One common method is using a His-tag, a small piece of protein that helps scientists grab and study their target protein. Usually, scientists use antibodies to find and study these His-tagged proteins, but this can be really expensive.
An interesting thing about lithium-ion batteries is how tiny oxygen holes can boost power. Imagine something really small—that's an oxygen vacancy. These vacancies are missing oxygen atoms in a material. When researchers looked closely at a material called Cu2Nb34O87-x/N-doped carbon composite, they
Baby white sturgeons, known as larvae, are facing new challenges in a warming world, and recent studies have shown that the temperature while they're developing can change how they act later in life. These sturgeons live in big rivers and estuaries along the Pacific coast of North America, and
Blood clots, or thrombosis, are a serious problem in medical devices. They can be dangerous and even deadly. This is because turbulence, or the chaotic flow of blood, can cause issues. It can lead to high shear stress, which damages blood cells. Blood clots are bad, but turbulence might be a bit of
In the warm regions of south China, farmers battle a tiny foe of the cowpea plant: Megalurothrips usitatus. This thrips is a real pest. To figure out how to control them, researchers have been raising these bugs in the lab for many generations. But the key to success is making sure they
A new strain of bird flu, known for causing severe infections, has spread from wild birds to cows in Nevada. This strain, called D1. 1, is different from the one that first affected cows in Texas last year. D1. 1 is a lot more common in migrating birds and has already caused a few serious human case
TBI can result from vehicle collisions, sports accidents or combat and this injury can cause death. TBI can also affect the bank accounts of those affected and the government. It can be broken down into two major phases: 1. The primary phase: things that occur immediately after the injury or conc
The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the world, and the Arab region is no exception. Social media has become a lifeline for sharing news and voicing public thoughts during this tough time. Twitter, in particular, has been a hotspot for Arabic speakers to talk about COVID-19. By diving into Arabic tweets
Let's talk about a common health problem. Yup, livers taking a beating from poor diets. What can turn things around? Research went deep into the role of exercise and probiotics hitting rats' livers. First things first, what are probiotics? Ever had yogurt? They're the good bacteria in it. And exerc
