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 ...

Noctilucent cloud in the summer polar mesosphere. 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 ...

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 ...

Recent findings suggest that a single regulator in yeast, Cdc13, nucleates specific subcomplexes that regulate specific telomeric functions.

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

It consists of a plastic pouch filled with a supercooled solution of sodium acetate (NaCOOCH 3). When a metal disc in the pouch is flexed, the sodium acetate nucleates on the disc, eventually ...
