Our bodies and organs are shielded from the external environment by tissue barriers like the skin. These barriers must be tightly sealed to prevent unwanted substances from entering. This sealing is ...
The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, a research team has uncovered new mechanisms in blood vessel formation. The ...
Scientists found that messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules that carry genetic instructions to the far reaches of neurons in the brain tend to cluster together mostly because they are abundant, not because ...
Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...
A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has constructed a novel triple-junction perovskite/Si tandem solar cell. With the potential to achieve more than 50% power ...
Single junction type (a) and the proposed double junction type (b) solar cells are compared with the conventional TANDEM type (c) and the proposed face-to-face type (d) multi-junction connections. A ...
Sydney research team led by Professor Anita Ho-Baillie (centre) in the laboratories of the Sydney Nanoscience Hub, University of Sydney. A University of Sydney-led team has set a record for solar ...
