A project is underway to investigate the production of “dark” oxygen further. Understanding the phenomenon better could help ...

In a bid to contain ozone depletion, a landmark multilateral environmental agreement was formulated that regulates the ...

The discovery that metallic rocks are apparently producing oxygen on the Pacific Ocean's seabed challenges the idea that ...

A PaO2 test measures partial pressure of oxygen, or PaO2—the oxygen pressure in arterial blood. The PaO2 reflects how well oxygen is able to move from the lungs to the blood. It is often altered by ...

Jan. 15, 2025 — While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

For many industrial processes, the typical way to separate gases, liquids, or ions is with heat, using slight differences in boiling points to pur ...

Molecular biophysics is the study of the physical principles governing biomolecular systems. It seeks to explain biological function in terms of molecular structure, dynamics and organization ...

Jan. 16, 2025 — If corn was ever jealous of soybean's relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, advancements in gene editing could one day even the playing field. A recent study shows that ...

Negative regulator of thermotolerance 1 (NAT1) is identified as a negative regulator of thermotolerance in rice through the NAT1–bHLH110–CER1/CER1L module. Modifying NAT1 by targeted gene ...

The bacterial cell wall is crucial to maintain viability. It has previously been suggested that Gram-positive bacteria have a periplasmic region between the cell membrane and peptidoglycan cell wall ...
