Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...

Everyone’s chasing “glass” (read: nearly poreless, because pores don’t actually disappear, despite what you’ve been told) skin that’s smooth, reflective, and impossibly even. What’s often left out of ...

Nitrogen (N) is the nutrient required in the greatest amounts and the most limiting factor for plant growth (Souza and Fernandes, 2018). Urea [CO(NH 2) 2] is the most used N fertilizer worldwide, with ...

This study evaluated the biological importance of immobilized urease enzyme over the free urease. The support material used for urease immobilization was alginate. Generally, the immobilization of ...

For more than a century, concrete has been the foundation of our modern civilization’s infrastructure with a stoic permanence. But that strength comes at a cost. Concrete, and the cement that binds it ...
