For the first time, we can take a molecular-level look at one of the world’s deadliest crop killers. The Luteoviridae are pathogenic plant viruses responsible for major crop losses worldwide. Transmitted by aphids, the viruses infect a wide range of food crops including cereals, legumes, cucurbits, ...

ccls is a C/C++/ObjC language server supporting cross references, hierarchies, completion and semantic highlighting. vscode-ccls is its VSCode language client. https://github.com/MaskRay/vscode-ccls/pull/75 made the redesign.

With a new process developed at TU Wien (Vienna), living cells can be integrated into fine structures created in a 3D printer — extremely fast and with very high resolution. Tissue growth and the behavior of cells can be controlled and investigated particularly well by embedding the cells in a delic...

Some bacteria release a toxin that forms pores on other cells. EPFL scientists have studied the pore-forming toxin aerolysin and genetically engineered it to be used as a high-resolution sensor for biological molecules like DNA and proteins. Some types of bacteria have the ability to punch holes int...

Systematic tracing of how neurons connect reveals mammalian brain’s ‘org chart’ of possible information flow. In their quest to map the millions of neural highways and connections in the brain, researchers at the Allen Institute have made a significant step forward, unveiling a new...

Researchers generate terahertz laser with laughing gas: Device may enable “T-ray vision” and better wireless communication. Within the electromagnetic middle ground between microwaves and visible light lies terahertz radiation, and the promise of “T-ray vision.” Terahertz waves have frequencies high...

The reference atlas, years in the making, offers common ground to put neuroscience findings in context. After three years of intensive data-gathering and careful drawing, the mapmakers’ work was complete. The complex terrain they charted, with all its peaks, valleys and borders, is only about ...

Climate change could cause abrupt shifts in the amount of vegetation growing in parts of Great Britain, new research shows. The University of Exeter studied the country in high resolution, using models to examine the local impacts of two climate change scenarios at 1.5×1.5 km (0.9×0.9 mi) ...

The Andes mountains, in southern Peru, are featured in this false-color image captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission. This image was processed in a way that makes vegetation appear blue, while irrigated vegetation and agriculture are visible in bright blue. The Andes are considered the longes...

Lenses are one of the most commonly used optical components in daily life, including eyeglasses, microscopic objectives, magnifying glass, and camera lenses. Conventional lenses are based on the principle of light refraction, using different materials, spherical surfaces, and spatial positions to ac...

Three mummified animals from ancient Egypt have been digitally unwrapped and dissected by researchers using high-resolution 3D scans that give unprecedented detail about the animals’ lives — and deaths — over 2000 years ago. The three animals — a snake, a bird and a cat — are from the collecti...

The open-source system from the 3D printer delivers high-resolution images like commercial microscopes at hundreds of times the price. Modern microscopes used for biological imaging are expensive, are located in specialized laboratories, and require highly qualified staff. To research novel, creativ...

GBT-VLBA System Images Lunar Landscape The National Science Foundation’s Green Bank Observatory (GBO) and National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO), and Raytheon Intelligence & Space conducted a test in November to prove that a new radio telescope system can capture high-resolution images in n...

A new imaging algorithm leverages the rotation of space debris to capture clearer images, helping track hazardous objects in Earth’s orbit more effectively. Litter is not only a problem on Earth. According to NASA, there are currently millions of pieces of space junk in the range of altitudes from 2...

Lehigh researchers quantify the specific interaction between the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — with the ACE2 receptors in human cells that may partially explain its high infection rate compared to SARS-CoV-1. Bioengineering researchers at Lehigh University have ident...

Research in the Orion Nebula Cluster supports the competitive accretion model of star formation, showing that a star’s final mass depends more on gas accretion during growth than on the initial mass of its gas core. A survey of star formation activity in the Orion Nebula Cluster found similar mass d...

Using neural networks, researchers can now simulate universes in a fraction of the time, advancing the future of physics research. A universe evolves over billions upon billions of years, but researchers have developed a way to create a complex simulated universe in less than a day. The technique, r...
