Researchers reveal largest catalogue of gene activators
Feb 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Also known as transcriptional activators for their ability to induce transcription of genes into RNA messages, these proteins are essential for the cells to function properly. Yet little is known about these proteins, and it wasn’t clear how many activators there might be in human...
Using the universe’s coldest material to measure the world’s tiniest magnetic fields
Feb 11, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Using atoms only a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero, a team of researchers from ICFO and Aalto University have detected magnetic signals undetectable by any other existing sensor technology. Magnetometers measure the direction, strength or relative changes of magnetic fields, at a...
