Directed evolution is a laboratory method that speeds up protein mutations to help create novel cancer and neurodegenerative disorder therapies. In a new study, scientists detail a method called ...

To investigate the fractal characteristics of rock crack distributions during the loading process, discrete element method was used to make rock samples with joints and record the crack propagation.

During the course of evolution, the mammalian cranio-mandibular secondary joint—formed by the dentary condyle and the squamosal glenoid fossa, which replaced the reptilian articular–quadrate ...

The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide. Viruses are known to use the ...

Using evolution as a guiding principle, researchers have successfully engineered bacteria-yeast hybrids to perform photosynthetic carbon assimilation, generate cellular energy and support yeast growth ...

In recent years, China’s coal mine safety production situation has been continuously improving. However, accidents involving gas, roof collapses, electromechanical issues, and other hazards still ...
