Molecular oxygen detected in the nearest quasar Observations using the IRAM 30 meter telescope and the NOEMA Interferometer have unveiled the presence of molecular oxygen in Markarian 231—the nearest known quasar. The finding, detailed in […]
Controlling molecular glue protects connections between brain cells A way in which some connections between brain cells can resist degeneration—a hallmark of traumatic brain injuries and neurodegenerative diseases—has been discovered by researchers at The University […]
Groundbreaking cohesin study describes the molecular motor that folds the genome New insights into the process of DNA looping have changed old perspectives about how the genome is organized within cells. Discoveries by IMP researchers […]
‘Molecular surgery’ reshapes living tissue with electricity but no incisions Traditional surgery to reshape a nose or ear entails cutting and suturing, sometimes followed by long recovery times and scars. But now, researchers have developed […]
Giant molecular outflow detected from the quasar PDS 456 Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, astronomers have detected a galaxy-wide molecular outflow from the quasar PDS 456. The findings are presented in […]
Cells use sugars to communicate at the molecular level (Update) The human body is made up of 30 to 40 trillion cells, a large and complex network of blood cells, neurons, and specialized cells that […]
