Air conditioning systems have to deal with the so-called ‘urban heat island’ effect, when human activity in big cities contributes towards temperature levels in the urban environment. Now it seems the growth of electric vehicles, or EVs, could help to relieve some of the strain on buildings’ air conditioning systems, potentially allowing them to become […]
A “fortuitous discovery” has opened the door to a potential way proteins in cells can be analysed using fluorescence filters. Speeding up the research process Researchers at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan were working on fluorescence in mammalian cells, using a green fluorescent protein called KikG. They altered its structure so that, at […]
