Scientists in Beijing have unravelled the molecular mechanisms of the deactivation of IκB kinase, a signalling pathway that is critical in a variety of cellular processes
Diatomic solids: Distortion under pressure
Scientists have identified a molecular phase in solid iodine that has two different covalent bond lengths
Coal production: Blue energy
Water plays a key role during the production of natural gas and other hydrocarbons from coal
High-temperature superconductivity: Mysterious couplings
A new form of electron coupling in a high-temperature superconductor has been discovered
