Low oxygen levels could temporarily blind marine invertebrates

These results, published recently in the Journal of Experimental Biology, are the first demonstration that vision in marine invertebrates is highly sensitive…

Biophysicists resolve true structure of highly promising optogenetic protein KR2 rhodopsin

Optogenetics is an entirely new area of biophysics and biomedicine, which investigates techniques for controlling the nerve and muscle cells in a living…

Sculpting super-fast light pulses

Imagine being able to shape a pulse of light in any conceivable manner–compressing it, stretching it, splitting it in two, changing its intensity or altering…

Scientists track giant ocean vortex from space

Using 23 years of satellite data, the new findings show the Great Whirl is larger and longer-lived than scientists previously thought. At its peak, the giant…

Magma is the key to the moon's makeup

Many theorists believe a Mars-sized object slammed into the early Earth, and material dislodged from that collision formed the basis of the moon.

New view of how ocean 'pumps' impact climate change

A large portion of the carbon dioxide emitted when humans burn fossil fuels, for instance, is taken up and stored in the ocean via a set of processes that make…
