A protein, the farnesoid X receptor, that is a key modulator of fat, glucose and cholesterol levels in the body usually works in tandem with another protein, but new research shows it can also work ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel high-frequency scattering model for targets on complex rough surfaces. The core innovation is a local ray incidence-based technique that computes the reflection ...

An international team of researchers, including members from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IPMU, WPI), has directly observed "highly charged muonic ions," ...

The ultrahigh resolution inelastic X-ray scattering (IXS) beamline at NSLS-II is designed and built to achieve sub-meV resolution at a moderate energy of 9.13 keV for IXS experiments with high ...

Sounds like a bright idea. Scientists have received approval to soon test whether “dimming” the light from the sun will combat global warming — a strategy some critics have recently described as ...
