 Article ID: 714863 Scientists show how one cause of weak enamel unfolds on the molecular levelPacific Northwest National LaboratoryScientists have shown how a tiny flaw in a protein results in damaged enamel that is prone to decay in people with a condition known as amelogenesis imperfecta. Such patients don’t develop enamel correctly because of a single amino acid defect in the critical enamel protein called amelogenin.

 Article ID: 714861 Applying the Goldilocks Principle to DNA StructureUniversity of California San DiegoInspired by ideas from the physics of phase transitions and polymer physics, researchers at UC San Diego set out to determine the organization of DNA inside the nucleus of a living cell. Their findings suggest that the phase state of the genomic DNA is “just right”—a gel poised at the phase boundary between gel and sol, the solid-liquid phase transition.

Article ID: 714830 Cover up to reduce the risk of short- and long-term skin damage from the sun’s UV raysWake Forest Baptist Medical CenterIf you let the sun burn your skin you’ll pay a price right away, with painful redness, peeling and possible blistering. But sunburn can also generate long-term problems, such as premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. Released:24-Jun-2019 6:00 PM EDT

 Article ID: 714856 Deep Learning Reveals Mysteries of Deep SpaceDepartment of Energy, Office of ScienceHow do you determine the measurable “things” that describe the nature of our universe? To answer that question, researchers used CosmoFlow, a deep learning technique, running on a National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center supercomputer. They analyzed large, complex data sets from 3-D simulations of the distribution of matter to answer that question. The team showed that CosmoFlow offers a new platform to gain a deeper understanding of the universe. Released:24-Jun-2019 5:30 PM EDT |
 Article ID: 714855 Defending America From Foreign Election InterferenceCouncil on Foreign Relations (CFR)The United States needs to safeguard the democratic process against foreign interference. It should ensure both the technical integrity of the voting system and that voters are not subjected to foreign influence operations that violate campaign laws. Released:24-Jun-2019 5:05 PM EDT |
