Using a new method to isolate and reprogram plant cells into other cell types, biologists explored how banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls are created and how their ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

Our bodies are home to millions of fungi that, for the most part, are completely harmless. However, they can sometimes change ...

Fruit softening is a defining trait of ripening, yet the molecular processes that control texture remain incompletely ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Getting DNA into a living cell sounds simple, until you remember the cell’s outer membrane acts like a guarded wall. DNA strands carry a negative charge, and they do not cross that wall easily.

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

In a new study 'Flexoelectric domain walls enable charge separation and transport in cubic perovskites' published in Nature Communications, physicists at the Institute of Science and Technology ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

Antibiotic resistance is rising fast, killing tens of thousands each year in the U.S. alone—and scientists are racing to find ...

UP to the present time, no X-ray investigations have been carried out on the molecular structure of chitin as present in plant cell-walls. The cell-walls of the sporangiophores of the fungus ...
