Opinion: If patents come with the risk that government could step in, that would hurt a lot more than Arizona's groundbreaking university research.
Our sense of direction is essential to our ability to navigate the world around us. It acts as the brain's internal compass to help us find our way and, just as importantly, to prompt us to change course when we're heading in the wrong direction.
ASCII characters (reading "NanoProbe Grp. NIMS") encoded in binary (i.e., using two digits: 0 and 1) in a series of one-dimensional molecular arra ...
A study in fruit flies reveals how the brain’s compass and steering regions make course corrections
<p>An international research team led by NIMS, the Osaka University Graduate School of Science and the Kanazawa University Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI) has succeeded for the first time in controlling the chirality of individual molecules through structural isomerization. The team also succeeded in synthesizing highly reactive diradicals with two unpaired electrons. These achievements were made using a scanning tunneling microscope probe at low temperatures.</p>
