The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Nerve cells have amazing strategies to save energy and still perform the most important of their tasks. Researchers found that the neuronal energy conservation program determines the location and ...

Quantum mechanics plays a role in the process of photosynthesis. Engineers have long sought efficient ways to convert solar ...

The idea of a perfectly cooked egg is subjective, but Italian scientists think they have cracked a method for optimising ...

New research reveals the hidden role quantum mechanics plays in photosynthesis, opening the door for breakthroughs in clean ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

The efficient conversion of solar energy into storable forms of chemical energy is the dream of many engineers. Nature found ...

Most animal, plant and fungal cells contain organelles called mitochondria. These descendants of a primordial bacterial ...

But when cancer cells pass on their defective mitochondria, they lose their ability to function properly, throttling the energy of the T-cells and causing them to become exhausted. Transfer was ...
