Welcome back to Earth: Say goodbye to blurry eyes, puffy faces, ‘chicken legs’ and a little extra height
Down to their very DNA, astronauts’ bodies can change in weird and sometimes significant ways, particularly during a long flight high above the Earth: They start to elongate, often developing a taller ...
Astronauts headed back to Earth can say goodbye to blurry eyes, puffy faces, ‘chicken legs’ and a little extra height
Astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Suni Williams are on their way back to Earth after nearly nine months in space and will soon be readjusting to life with gravity.
Newly identified bacterial protein helps design cancer drug delivery system
A previously unknown protein in a family of bacteria found in soil and the human gut microbiome has been discovered—which ...
RNA Origami Used to Make Artificial Cytoskeletons
With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural RN ...
