Led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine and the Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health, the new study found that SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic virus, interacts with specific proteins on immune cells, causing these cells to release abnormally high levels of immune sig...

 E-Mail Bone is not just a fixed material - its a dynamic set of structures that can adapt their mass and strength based on the loads they must support. Developing that sort of adaptive material has long been the dream of scientists. Now for the first time, scientists at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) at the University of Chicago have developed a gel material that strengthens when exposed to vibration. Not only were scientists able to make the material 66 times stronger t...

 E-Mail Spectacular fossil plants preserved within a volcanic ash fall in China have shed light on an evolutionary race 300 million years ago, which was eventually won by the seed-bearing plants that dominate so much of the Earth today. New research into fossils found at the Pompeii of prehistoric plants, in Wuda, Inner Mongolia, reveals that the plants, called Noeggerathiales, were highly-evolved members of the lineage from which came seed plants. Noeggerathiales were important peat-forming ...

Giovanni Pari; Derek E.G. Briggs; Robert R. Gaines Abstract: Soft-bodied fossils of Cambrian age, now known as Burgess Shale-type biotas, were first described from the Parker Slate of the northwest Vermont (USA) slate belt in the late 19 th century, 25 years before the discovery of the Burgess Shale in British Columbia, Canada. Here, we report the rediscovery of fossiliferous horizons at Parkers Cobble, the site of the original quarry, which was thought to have been exhausted by excavation. New...
