Corals might absence flavor buds, nostrils and a mind, but the tiny reef-builders aren’t fully senseless: Their chemoreceptor cells can detect gaseous molecules floating around in the drinking water, many of which are designed by corals themselves throughout photosynthesis. “It’s the way that these invertebrates ‘taste’ and ‘smell,’” says Linda […]

Applying a new robotic platform, scientists can simultaneously track hundreds of microbial populations as they evolve new proteins or other molecules. Pure evolution is a sluggish approach that depends on the gradual accumulation of genetic mutations. In latest yrs, scientists have observed techniques to pace up the approach on a […]
The exfoliation of graphite into graphene levels encouraged the investigation of thousands of layered products: among them transition steel dichalcogenides (TMDs). These semiconductors can be applied to make conductive inks to manufacture printed electronic and optoelectronic equipment. Having said that, problems in their composition could hinder their performance. Now, Graphene […]
