Promising 2D materials may face an unexpected obstacle at the atomic scale: a tiny gap at their interfaces. For decades, the ...

Edited* by William A. Catterall, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA, and approved May 27, 2010 (received for review March 8, 2010) Clustered Kv2.1 Channels Sense Changes in ...

Abstract: Dust grains immersed into a low-temperature plasma are charged negatively because the electron attachment dominates other charging processes. However, increasing energy of impinging ...

Duct tape, WD-40, and zip ties make up the DIY trifecta. If you need to fix something quickly, and don’t have the “proper” tools and materials, zip ties (also called cable ties) are your friends. Even ...

The ability to calculate the electric field generated by a charged object is fundamental to understanding electromagnetism. One common scenario involves determining the electric field produced by a ...

This important manuscript presents several structures of the Kv1.2 voltage-gated potassium channel, based on state-of-the-art cryoEM techniques and algorithms. The authors present solid evidence for ...

A new sulfur- and zinc-based metal organic framework (MOF) compound conducts charge nearly as well as the most conductive organic semiconductors, a team of researchers based in the U.S. and Japan ...

Based on analyses of retinae from genetically modified mice, and from wild-type ground squirrel and macaque, employing microscopic imaging, electrophysiology, and pharmacological manipulations, this ...

Do data resources managed by EMBL-EBI and our collaborators make a difference to your work? If so, please take 10 minutes to fill in our survey, and help us make the case for why sustaining open data ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Abstract: This paper presents a model of electric field calculation in nonconducting regions in steady state AC magnetic application, with conductors described by surface impedance, using the 3-D ...
