A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.

Large-scale changes often merge with regional quirks, leading to unique stories in each part of the basin. Policymakers and industry stakeholders may benefit from following these detailed outcomes.

Trees get most of the love, but diatoms, a group of photosynthetic microalgae, produce 20% of Earth’s oxygen and are the foundation of aquatic food webs. The prevalence and diversity of diatoms have ...

Biohybrid microrobots with autonomous movement capabilities have broad application prospects in targeted delivery, attracting researchers to study their movement characteristics. However, its ...

Measurements of 17O/16O in silica (SiO₂), when paired with 18O/16O, provide an opportunity to further constrain the environmental conditions at the time of mineral precipitation and ripening. On ...

To overcome this problem, we settled a novel method: a multi-scale microscopy analysis based on Fourier Ptychographic Microscopy (FPM), choosing copper (Cu) as tested-contaminant for its high toxicity ...

The researchers believe this is the first time genome-scale models have been used at a global scale. The team’s new metabolic modeling data support recent lab experiments suggesting that some diatoms ...

This work is based on a genome-scale metabolic modeling approach that the team used to unravel the metabolism of the diatom Cylindrotheca closterium.

The researchers believe this is the first time genome-scale models have been used at a global scale. The team’s new metabolic modeling data support recent lab experiments suggesting that some diatoms ...

The beauty of creating a time scale from scratch, Gramling said, is that scientists can take everything they have learned about timekeeping on Earth and apply it to a new system on the moon.

Dead Bodies Can Reveal Details Of Their Death Through Microscopic Diatoms Forensic biologist Dr Kirstie Scott explains what diatoms can teach us in BBC’s “Body On The Beach”.
