The signalling protein Dishevelled helps to regulate axon growth
Microemulsions: A dry mix
Scientists create a microemulsion of two ionic liquids
Nanotubes: Slowly but surely
Single-walled nanotube arrays have been synthesized using ultralow gas-flow deposition
Zinc oxide: Crystal under pressure
A model explains how the crystal structure of zinc oxide is transformed at high pressures
Super-excited states: Change the channel
The super-excited states of fluorine molecules are studied using quantum-defect theory
Fluid dynamics: Understanding Hurricane Katrina
Solutions to the Euler equations provide a means to study a wide range of physical phenomena, including natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina.
