Locked movement in molecular motor and rotor
The naphthalene rotor is attached to the motor by a single carbon-carbon bond, which allows it to rotate freely. But the design of the system has been tweaked to control
Stony corals more resistant to climate change than thought
“The bottom line is that corals will make rock even under adverse conditions,” said Paul G. Falkowski, a distinguished professor who leads the Environmental Biophysics and Molecular Ecology Laboratory at
Almost a quarter of adolescents in Austria are currently suffering from a mental health problem
