Every animal has weaknesses, but some species overcome them by forming unexpected partnerships with others. In many ...

Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

Scientists have uncovered how brewer’s yeast developed its unusually tiny centromeres, the DNA regions that guide chromosome separation during cell division. By studying related yeast species, ...

The Government Accountability Office report released March 3 examines whether a federal incentive enacted in 2004 under the Minor Use and Minor Species Animal Health Act has been effective. The ...

Gallium nitride (GaN) is an ideal material for applications requiring high switching speeds and minimal power losses. While ...

Brazil's Butantan Institute identified a new mite larvae, Araneothrombium brasiliensis, feeding on a spider in a museum ...

The New World screwworm is a flesh-eating parasite that infests open wounds on live animals and humans. While eradicated in the U.S. decades ago, the parasite is spreading north through Central ...

The new Lamprey drone is built to attach directly to a host ship’s hull, allowing it to detach quickly and without needing to be submerged into the water first. The notion of attaching weapons to the ...

A parasitic wasp castrates its moth-larvae hosts by injecting them with a ‘domesticated’ virus that causes cells in the larvae’s testes to die. Now, scientists know exactly how the virus does its ...

Abstract: The accurate extraction of interconnect parasitic capacitance is a critical issue for designing VLSI circuits. To improve the efficiency of parasitic capacitance extraction, we present in ...

It’s a familiar moment in math class—students are asked to solve a problem, and some jump in confidently while others freeze, unsure where to begin. When students don’t yet have a clear mental model ...

Abstract: This study presents an innovative design approach using a parallel interleaved winding structure to reduce parasitic effects in high-frequency PCB transformers. Among the solutions provided, ...
