A pioneering study has revealed how cellular compartments (organelles) are able to control how much they interact and cooperate.
The quest to discover how some people can compare or “match” the intricate details of faces, fingerprints and even firearms only by sight has taken a new, exciting twist.
Mechanical “training” produces strong, fatigue-resistant, yet soft hydrogels with possible uses in medicine.
