Researchers gain insights into charge transfer at atomically thin interfaces between semiconductors. Semiconductors are ubiquitous in modern technology, working to either enable or prevent the flow of electricity. In order…
Simulations provide a potential explanation for the mysterious gap in the size distribution of super-Earths. Ordinarily, planets in evolved planetary systems, such as the Solar System, follow stable orbits around…
Scientists developed a new molecular system made from the abundant element manganese for photooxidations. Highly reducing or oxidizing photocatalysts are a fundamental challenge in photochemistry. Only a few transition metal…
A study by Brazilian researchers shows that the pigment is present not only in the seeds but also in other organs of Bixa orellana, the Annatto tree. They investigated the…
Ubiquitin is a small protein with a big impact. From yeast fungi to humans, it serves as a molecular tag that regulates many cellular processes. Ubiquitin ligases are indispensable labeling…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that usually leads to permanent disabilities. It affects around 2.9 million people worldwide, and around 15,000 in Switzerland alone. One key feature of…
