Quantum Dot (QD) is a nanometer-sized semiconductor nanocrystal that has unique optical properties such as the ability to emit light in the range of optical frequencies depending on its size. QDs have ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Scientists have identified gene recombination in neurons that produces thousands of new gene variants within Alzheimer's disease brains. The study reveals for the first time how the Alzheimer's-linked ...

Virus variation has been the bane of Covid-19 control. No sooner has one wave of infection passed than a second arrives, evading prior immunity and even vaccines. Monoclonal antibody drugs effective ...

The first large-scale, high-resolution study of human genetic recombination has found remarkably high levels of individual variation in genetic exchange, the process by which parents pass on a ...

A new study proposes dissociative recombination of HCO+ molecules in Venus's early ionosphere as a significant mechanism for water loss. This process, driven by abundant free electrons, releases ...
