Crucially, the team identified that the removal of water molecules directly surrounding ions, particularly chloride ions ... favoring the formation of solid salt structures.

In many animals, skin colouration and its patterns play a crucial role in camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation. In ...

Scientists found that a single gene controls striking corn snake patterns like stripes and blotches. While essential for brain function in mammals, in snakes, its mutation uniquely alters skin color ...

An Unexpected Player in Pattern Formation To better understand the ... will focus on understanding the role of the CLCN2 chloride ion channel in chromatophore membranes, particularly how it ...

A new method uses gold to assemble multi-element nanoparticles under mild conditions, offering improvements in catalytic ...

In many animals, skin colors and patterns play an essential role, whether for camouflage, communication, or thermoregulation.

particularly chloride ions, played a pivotal role. This water removal, coupled with unique dielectric behaviors under extreme confinement, amplified the Coulomb forces between ions, favoring the ...

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

Canada Gairdner Awards recognize the world’s most accomplished researchers whose work is improving our understanding of human health and disease. Since 1957, 426 awards have been given to recipients ...
