These frameworks can host and control the placement of the proteins internally -- for example, at the cente...

UPTON, NY--How do you spot a subatomic neutrino in a "haystack" of particles streaming from space? That's the daunting prospect facing physicists...

A closer look at how COVID-19 damages human lungs A recent study conducted at the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory provides the first atomic-level detailed model of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) envelope protein when bound to human proteins within the lungs. The study was recently published in The utility of cryo-EM Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a high-resolution imaging technology that uses frozen samples, gentle electron beams, and sophisticated imaging software to acquire highly detailed images. The elec...

High-nickel-content cathodes offer high capacity, a chemical property that could power electric vehicles over much longer distances than current batteries support. Unfortunately, the high nickel content also causes these cathode materials to degrade more quickly, creating cracks and stability issues as the battery cycles. In search of solutions to these...

Maria Stefaniak Maria Stefaniak was born in Poland and graduated with a Bachelor and Master of Science at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT). She is doing her doctoral studies in the frame of the double-diploma BGF Cotutelle program at WUT and Subatech-IMT Atlantique in France. Stefaniak’s research focuses on the studies of properties of strongly interacting matter and its transition between the quark gluon plasma (QGP) and the gas state. One of the methods to access such extreme conditions is examining the matter created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, which can be obtained d...
