A novel technique uncovered numerous signficant abnormalities in mitochondrial functioning in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)
Scientists have for the first time captured and filmed atoms bonding, using advanced microscopy methods they captured a moment of breaking a chemical bond, around half a million times smaller than the width of a human hair.

Possible idea for the dna
With a herd of 1.7 million worms, Mike Larson isn't your typical Minnesota farmer. But by feeding his African Nightcrawlers locally harvested peat and organic grains, Brut Worm Farms in Brooten is producing an all-natural, organic soil enhancer that is quickly growing.
So when tech is doing the things teachers did, what do teachers do? Here are some ideas.

A new machine-learning method accurately identifies regions of the human genome that have been duplicated or deleted—known as copy number variants—that are often associated with autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. The new method, developed by researchers at Penn State, integrates data from several algorithms that attempt to identify copy number variants from exome-sequencing data—high-throughput DNA sequencing of only the protein-coding regions of the human genome. A paper describing the method, which could help clinicians provide more accurate diagnoses for genetic diseases, appears in the July issue of the journal Genome Research.
AlphaFold program’s prediction of nearly 20,000 human protein structures now free for researchers
Davide Michieletto explains how DNA can be harnessed to create a new generation of “topologically active” materials
An interdisciplinary research team at Lehigh University has unraveled how functional biomaterials rely upon an interfacial protein layer to transmit signals to living cells concerning their adhesion, proliferation and overall development.
What's an s-shaped animal with scales and no legs? What has big ears, a trunk and tusks? What goes 'woof' and chases cats? The brain's ability to reconstruct facts – "a snake," "an elephant' and "a dog" – from clues has been observed using brain scanning by researchers at Aalto university. Their study was published today in Nature Communications.
