The largest research project is the development and launch of rocket-borne probes to detect the dust in the mesosphere from meteor ablation and the larger noctilucent cloud particles that form in the ...

Think of a glass of water freezing when it hits 32F; first, a little fragment of ice 'nucleates,' and then grows out until ...

Boston College physicists have discovered a complex landscape of electronic states that can co-exist on a kagome lattice, resembling those in high-temperature superconductors, they reported this fall ...

In motile animal cells, such as fibroblasts or macrophages, the centrosome typically nucleates the aster of microtubules that radiates in the cytoplasm, and, as shown last year 2, the centrosome ...

When a metal disc in the pouch is flexed, the sodium acetate nucleates on the disc, eventually crystallizing the entire pack and becoming hot. The pack is designed to fit in the hand and would not be ...

Homologous recombination plays essential roles in the repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and collapsed replication forks. The fundamental reaction in homologous recombination is the exchange of ...
