Experts Create Artificial Membrane Pore

Interactions at a cellular level are the things that drive all living things, according to biologists. All cells need to be able to communicate with the outside world, and the way they do that is by exchanging chemicals through their membranes. Regardless of whether we're talking about a brain cell or a single-c...

New 'Space Water' Quality-Testing Method Devised

Scientists from the University of Utah have recently announced the creation of a new method of assessing the quality of the water that astronauts drink in orbit. While, at first glance, the process may seem similar to what goes on down on Earth, this is not the case. For example, aboard the International Space Statio...

Experts Learn to Control Proteins with Light

For many years, experts have tried to gain a better understanding of cancer, of why it appears, and of how it spreads through the human body. In order to do this, they need to be able to observe and to control interactions that occur within a cell, especially at the individual protein level. Recently, breakthroughs h...
