Extremely small arrays of magnets with strange and unusual properties can order themselves by increasing entropy, or the tendency of physical systems to disorder, a behavior that appears to contradict standard thermodynamics—but doesn’t.
Eukaryotes have a distinct cell nucleus that contains one set of genes (DNA), and another entity known as the mitochondrion, that contains its own unique genes. Mitochondria are the cellular hubs for energy production and much of metabolism.
Forget crystals. AI gives Weizmann’s algorithms the means to design biomolecules with a huge range of valuable functions
Antiretroviral therapy has made HIV a manageable condition, but it does not eliminate the virus from the body—and most regimens are expensive and require a pill every day, for the rest of the patient’s life.
Students are driving innovative research to promote water and food security for all.
New study reveals multiple pathways for a successful energy transition by 2050.
A new machine-learning system may someday help driverless cars predict the next moves of nearby drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in real-time.
An alternative to methods requiring harsh chemical conditions, the reaction offers a new route to making useful phosphorous-containing compounds.
In multiple disciplines across campus, TCU is involved in conservation and preservation efforts.
International research consortia have analyzed common and rare DNA variants in hundreds of thousands of people, revealing clearest genetic signals yet for schizophrenia risk.
All publications of the Helsinki University Press are openly available.
But we’re in no danger, UCLA professor David Jewitt assures
Key to possible HIV cure may lie in mechanisms behind how it replicates
Nature may abhor a vacuum, but it sure loves structure. Complex, self-organized assemblies are found throughout the natural world, from double-helix DNA molecules to the photonic crystals that make butterfly wings so colorful and iridescent.
The year 2021 was the first in which all the University’s investments were allocated in accordance with its new principles for responsible investment.
The universities will decide on the reform of the scoring model for certificate-based admission in 2023.
Beams of protons are again circulating around the collider’s 27-kilometre ring, marking the end of a multiple-year hiatus of upgrade work
An international team led by scientists at the University of Helsinki have discovered that the cellular balance of lipid droplets can impact the recycling of damaged mitochondria.
The rhetoric of right-wing populists permeates all levels of society, but we can still increase understanding in various ways, says a researcher in social psychology.
