Biogeochemistry and chemical oceanography; nutrient cycling in the modern ocean, and the link between past climatic change, ocean circulation, nutrient supply and biological productivity. Many of our ...

Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) pages (or informational hubs) enable your business to respond, react, and anticipate the needs of your audience more quickly and appropriately than other types of ...

For the first time, two researchers in the US have observed the intricate folding and unfolding of “cellular origami”. Through detailed observations, Eliott Flaum and Manu Prakash at Stanford ...

Oddly, origami could be useful for snagging prey. The finding could help inspire new robotics, such as tools for microsurgery that can extend and contract inside small body cavities. Seeing L. olor’s ...

Combining a deep curiosity and "recreational biology," Stanford researchers have discovered how a simple cell produces remarkably complex behavior, all without a nervous system. It's origami, they say ...

Perhaps the most fundamental conflict in nature occurs when one organism consumes another. Diet generalists benefit from the advantage of eating many prey but then must deal with many prey defenses.

Mitochondria are very well known as the powerhouses of the cell. Generally speaking, all eukaryotes, including plants, fungi, and animals, are made of cells that contain mitochondria. These organelles ...

This contribution is part of the special series of Inaugural Articles by members of the National Academy of Sciences elected in 2022. My basic scientific training stemmed from living ever since I was ...

Protists, a broad class of generally single-celled organisms that includes algae and amoebae, have long been regarded as a "catch-all" category for diverse microorganisms. Because of their diversity ...
