March 19, 2013 Researchers have performed record simulations using all 1,572,864 cores of Sequoia, the largest supercomputer in the world. Sequoia, based on IBM BlueGene/Q architecture, is the first machine to ... > full story -
Molecule's Structure Reveals New Therapeutic Opportunities for Rare Diabetes
March 13, 2013 Researchers have determined the 3-D structure of a protein called HNF-4±. People with mature onset diabetes of the young (MODY1) have inherited mutations in the HNF-4± protein. This ... > full story -
Long Predicted Atomic Collapse State Observed in Graphene
March 7, 2013 Seventy years ago theorists predicted superlarge nuclei would exhibit a quantum-mechanical phenomenon known as "atomic collapse." Recently materials scientists calculated that highly-charged ... > full story -
Pushing the Boundaries: Study Provides Key Insight Into How Cells Fuse
March 7, 2013 Researchers have established a high-efficiency cell-cell fusion system, providing a new model to study how fusion works. The scientists showed that fusion between two cells is not equal and mutual as ... > full story -
Probing Extreme Matter Through Observations of Neutron Stars
March 6, 2013 Neutron stars, the ultra-dense cores left behind after massive stars collapse, contain the densest matter known in the Universe outside of a black hole. New results have provided one of the most ... > full story -
Viruses: More Survival Tricks Than Previously Thought
March 5, 2013 Among eukaryotes with modified nuclear genetic codes, viruses are unknown. Until now it had been believed that the modifications to the genetic code effectively prevented new viral infections. ... > full story -
