Newly generated, complete “end-to-end” reference genomes for the sex chromosomes of five great ape species and one lesser ape species—produced by an international collaborative team led by researchers at Penn State, the National Human Genome Research Institute and the University of Washington—highlight extremely rapid changes on the male-specific Y chromosome among ape species. Newly generated, complete…
Researchers from Lancaster University and Radboud University Nijmegen have managed to generate propagating spin waves at the nanoscale and discovered a novel pathway to modulate and amplify them.

A widely found gene in plants has been newly identified as a key transporter of a hormone that influences the size of corn. The discovery offers plant breeders a new tool to develop desirable dwarf varieties that could enhance the crop’s resilience and profitability. A widely found gene in plants has been newly identified as a…
The vision “When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” Photographer and environmentalist Ansel Adams The spotlight As a writer, I obviously have a fondness for words. I believe in their power — while also recognizing their limitations. Much as we try to “show,…

Recently, a team of chemists, mathematicians, physicists and nano-engineers at the University of Twente in the Netherlands developed a device to control the emission of photons with unprecedented precision. This technology could lead to more efficient miniature light sources, sensitive sensors, and stable quantum bits for quantum computing. Recently, a team of chemists, mathematicians, physicists and…
New findings by University at Buffalo researchers reveal that RNA editing may play a larger role in human biology and in the development of human disease than has generally been understood.
