Researchers reveal universal mechanisms of DNA and RNA deformations

DNA and RNA, the two main types of nucleic acid and the building blocks of life, are susceptible to environmental stimuli, which can cause them to deform, bend or twist. These deformations can significantly affect gene regulation ...

Study tracks how newcomers may change ecosystem functions

In a study tracking climate-induced changes in the distribution of animals and their effects on ecosystem functions, North Carolina State University researchers show that resident species can continue managing some important ...

Discovery overturns major assumptions in crystal photochemistry

Stimuli-responsive materials, whose physical properties change in response to external stimuli such as light and heat, are being widely studied as next-generation functional materials. Photo-responsive materials in particular ...
