TORC1 is an enzyme complex that controls the normal growth of our cells; but, when too active, it can promote diseases such as cancer. A new study describes how sugar regulates the activity of TORC1, ...

The Asian citrus psyllid (left), a representative elongated Profftella cell containing numerous intracellular tubules (middle), and the architecture of a single tubular structure (right). A research ...

With the assistance of rotatable mandrel and slit projection systems, PLLP can rapidly achieve the manufacturing of single-layer or multi-layer multi-material structures. A novel 3D printing ...

The described basic practices aim to achieve postforming of tubular structures without critical defects such as folds, wrinkles, and fiber damage, while improving the external surface quality. The ...

Astronomers have creatively used a radio telescope to see in 3-D, allowing them to detect the existence of tubular plasma structures in the inner layers of the magnetosphere surrounding the Earth. By ...

Controlling molecular interactions between bioinspired molecules can enable the development of new materials with higher complexity and innovative properties. Here we report on a dynamic system that ...

Tree Composites’ TC-joint used in jacket foundations for wind turbine generators (WTGs) has the potential to increase foundation structure manufacturing throughput by 100% by eliminating welding, ...

A group of researchers led by Professor Alvaro Mata from the University of Nottingham, along with others from Queen Mary University London, has successfully created a biomaterial that could be used ...

Never before has the power delivery system needed such a wide variety of structures and towers to meet the needs of transmission grid. Some transmission lines require very long span crossings over ...
