Colorful Traits in Primates Ease Tensions Between Groups

Primate ornamentation plays a crucial role in communication not only within social groups but also between them, according to a new study. The research reveals that the males of species…

Synthetic polymers against fungal infections

A chemistry PhD student is stranded at the Leibniz-HKI in Jena and uses the time for research on Candida albicans. Combined with antifungal drugs, synthetic polymers are particularly effective against…

Catalyst for ‘one-step’ conversion of methane to methanol

Scientists demonstrate highly selective catalyst for low-temperature, direct conversion of natural gas to liquid fuel. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborating institutions have…

Protein folding helpers in their natural environment

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), can be used to visualize and analyze cellular structures in their natural environment. Researchers at the MPI of Biochemistry in Martinsried and the University Medical Center Göttingen…

First visualization of valence electrons

…reveals fundamental nature of chemical bonding. The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was experimentally observed for the first time by a team led…

Surprising mechanism for removing dead cells identified

Billions of our cells die every day to make way for the growth of new ones. Most of these goners are cleaned up by phagocytes—mobile immune cells that migrate where…
