Gaps in the soup of high-energy particles near the orbits of two of Saturn’s tiny moons indicate that Saturn may be surrounded by undiscovered, near-invisible partial rings. A paper in the February issue of the journal Icarus suggests that the larger saturnian moons may not be the only ones contributing material to Saturn's ring system. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

By using a specialized microscope that illuminates only a cell’s surface, scientists have become the first to see, in real time and in plain view, hundreds of thousands of molecules coming together in a living cell to form a single particle of the virus that has, in less than 25 years, claimed more than 25 million lives: HIV.

Seeing proteins in their natural environment and interactions inside cells has been a longstanding goal. Using an advanced microscopy technique called cryo-electron tomography, researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL] have visualised proteins responsible for cell-cell contacts for the first time. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

Newfound glowing spots on Jupiter seem unexpectedly to come from electron beams whipping around the giant planet's volcanic moon Io. Io is the most volcanic body in the solar system, with its entire surface likely made up of lava from the moon's hundreds of volcanoes. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago

The creative process involved in the design of these chips, a strong sense of pride in their work, and an artistic temperament combined compels people to want to mark their work as their own. This is the design engineer's way of "signing" his/her work.

At 99.997% of the speed of light, these waves generate electrical fields of billions of electron volts in just a few meters. This means that table-top particle accelerators might be possible, which in turn offers the promise that R&D and medical applications of accelerators (which at present are miles long) might be more readily available. picked by Fanatic 2 years ago
