Insights Into a Debilitating Brain Disease
June 6, 2013 From the neurons that enable thought to the keratinocytes that make toenails grow -- a complex canopy of sugar molecules, commonly known as glycans, envelop every living cell in the human body. These ... > full story -
Nuclear Testing from the 1960s Helps Scientist Determine Whether Adult Brains Generate New Neurons
June 6, 2013 The birth of new neurons in the adult brain sharpens memory in rodents, but whether the same holds true for humans has long been debated. A new study reveals that a significant number of new neurons ... > full story -
Unusual Antibodies in Cows Suggest New Ways to Make Medicines for People
June 6, 2013 Humans have been raising cows for their meat, hides and milk for millennia. Now it appears that the cow immune system also has something to offer. A new study focusing on an extraordinary family of ... > full story -
Cassini Sees Precursors to Aerosol Haze on Saturn's Largest Moon, Titan
June 6, 2013 Scientists working with data from NASA's Cassini mission have confirmed the presence of a population of complex hydrocarbons in the upper atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, that later evolve ... > full story -
NASA to Study How Pollution, Storms and Climate Mix
June 6, 2013 NASA aircraft will take to the skies over the southern United States this summer to investigate how air pollution and natural emissions, which are pushed high into the atmosphere by large storms, ... > full story -
Second Life for Possible Spintronic Materials: Manganese, Gallium Nitride Merged in Uniform Layer
June 6, 2013 Ten years ago, scientists were convinced that a combination of manganese and gallium nitride could be a key material to create spintronics, the next generation of electronic devices that operate on ... > full story -
Alpine Lakes Reflect Climate Change
June 6, 2013 Global warming impacts lakes' structure, function and water quality. Increases in temperature as a result of climate change are mirrored in lake waters where temperatures are also on the rise. A new ... > full story -
Resistivity Switch Is Window to Role of Magnetism in Iron-Based Superconductors
