The possibilities of using photoacoustic techniques as a versatile tool for lympathic-related clinical applications is discussed.
A team of American researchers tested the possibilites of using Raman spectroscopy to assess collagen structure or collagen integrity in bone.
In their review published in BioEssays, Russell Fletcher, Diya Das and John Ngai discuss how the integration of lineage tracing with data obtained from single-cell RNA-sequencing can provide insights into how stem cells differentiate.
Insights into how melting snow is partitioned within the water cycle.
The role of subsurface legacy sources that have lead to dead, zero-oxygen zones in the sea is assessed.
Lignin is a by-product of the Kraft pulping process and is typically burned for energy within the pulp and paper mill plant. Due to energy efficiency measures in Kraft pulp mills, its availability has recently greatly increased. This surplus lignin provides a readily available feedstock for conversion into a phenolic-rich bio-oil via hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL).
There are striking similarities between the structure of natural river networks and others found in systems as diverse as brains, roads and the communication technologies. Using a series of examples, the authors illustrate how a suite of graph theory-based metrics derived from diverse disciplines can be used to provide new insights into the structure and kinematics of braided river networks.
Energy-dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy to track how the crystal lattice of copper nitride responds to applied high pressure.
The Stipa awn uses a humidity-driven mechanism to disperse and self-bury its seed.
