...ation."Lu's single-molecule spectroscopy technique gathers and analyzes photons emitted as single proteins interact. This raw data may not produce what we would think of as a motion picture, but for Lu it is just as good. It enables him to construct--in true sequence and in real time--the position and contin...Spring through fall, cities are greener longer than neighboring rural regions
...instrument, aboard NASA satellites Terra and Aqua, gathers data on Earth's entire surface every one to two days. The team used "nighttime lights" data and MODIS data to determine the size of the urban areas studied. To determine the radiating effect of urban heat islands on vegetation in surrounding regions...Stanford researchers go from heaven to Earth in 'lifeguard' test

...y. The new models help explain why the white dwarf gathers the hydrogen from its companion instead of blowing off the material as it arrives. White-dwarf supernovae interest researchers because they are believed to be the stellar factories of the heavy elements such as iron, nickel and cobalt. They also have...Nutrient-poor oceans generate their food 'hot spots'

...small interfering or siRNAs. A complex of proteins gathers up these RNA scraps and uses their code as a guide to search out and destroy any RNAs in the cell with a matching sequence, such as messenger RNA. Because messenger RNA serves as a template for the production of the proteins that carry out gene funct......ns writing and re-writing its software code as it gathers more and more data.
