When two particles collide, they normally fly off in opposite directions, like billiard balls on a smooth table. But in a recent physics experiment at the Weizmann Institute of Science, instead of ... - Catch a Virus by Its Tail
Phages, viruses that attack bacteria, have a head and a tail. The head contains the phage's genetic material and the tail is used to identify a potential host, that is, a bacterial cell into which ...
- Building better enzymes - by breaking them down
Enzymes have the potential to transform the chemical industry by providing green alternatives to a slew of processes. These proteins act as biological catalysts, and with the help of molecular engi...
