Exposing a hidden anchor for HIV replication
The tiny shell protecting the HIV virus resembles a slightly rounded ice cream cone, but there is nothing sweet about it. More than 40 million people worldwide...
From power grids to epidemics: Study shows how small patterns trigger systemic failures
Why do some systems collapse suddenly after what seems like a minor disturbance? A single transmission line failure can cascade into widespread blackouts. A del...
Most roadless areas in Great Britain are smaller than 1 km², fragmenting wildlife habitats
Britain's landscape is highly fragmented by roads, with researchers from Cardiff University finding that more than 70% of the UK's roadless areas are smaller th...
Antarctic warming is altering atmospheric stability: New evidence from the 1950s to the present
A new study published in the Journal of Climate reveals how surface warming in Antarctica, particularly over the Antarctic Peninsula, is significantly altering...
Identifying priority Southern Ocean conservation hotspots
New research shows that maintaining and adopting proposed marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Southern Ocean could almost double the protection of genetic hots...
'Boomerang' earthquake simulations suggest ricocheting ruptures may be more common than previously thought
An earthquake typically sets off ruptures that ripple out from its underground origins. But on rare occasions, seismologists have observed quakes that reverse c...
Mass production technology developed for ultra-high color purity perovskite emitters
A research team led by Professor Tae-Woo Lee has developed a technology to mass produce ultra-high color purity perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs), the core materi...
