Structural genomics efforts are already producing a quarter of all 'new' macromolecular structures (<30% sequence identity to previously solved structures) and are stimulating development of ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Since Robert Hooke’s first description of a cell in Micrographia 350 years ago, microscopy has played an important role in understanding the rules of life. However, the smallest ...

To build the world’s most cutting-edge nanotechnologies, engineers rely on lithography — a printing concept dating from the late 1700s that has evolved into an ultra-modern fabrication technology. Now ...

The research was conducted by EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), the Institute of Molecular Systems Biology ETH Zurich, and the School of Biological Sciences Seoul National ...

A University of Missouri researcher has created a computer program that can unravel the mysteries of how proteins work together — giving scientists valuable insights to better prevent, diagnose and ...

Spirit AeroSystems’ Inflexion technology enables manufacture of large, complex composite aerostructures in one continuous piece that are lighter, more affordable and more efficient. SOURCE: Spirit ...

Robust and damage tolerant concepts for TPS and hot structures, which can be manufactured, installed and maintained at low cost are the mainspring of development. The characteristics of C/C-SiC fiber ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – An innovation that helps speed the design of fishing rods, skis and cell phone electronics soon will help NASA do its work in space. AnalySwift LLC, a Purdue ...

"This project is a work-in-progress on HygroStructures (‘hygro’ from the root Greek word ‘hugros’, meaning ‘wet’), a new class of physical structures that conserve form, material and process.

According to certain engineering regulations, the durability and design of structural lifetime is often around 50 years. It can be greatly extended with regular maintenance—otherwise, the structure ...

Archaeologists uncovered 60,000 previously unknown Mayan structures deep in the Guatemalan jungle using state-of-the-art laser technology. The find could completely rewrite what we know about the ...
