Stuart Lindsay and his colleagues at Arizona State University have taken a major step in demonstrating the accurate identification of amino acids by briefly pinning each in a narrow junction between a pair of flanking electrodes and measuring a characteristic chain of current spikes passing through successive amino acid molecules.
If desert mirages occur on Mars, "Lake Gusev" belongs among them. This come-and-go body of ancient water has come and gone more than once, at least in the eyes of Mars scientists.
ASU undergraduates have the opportunity to enroll in a challenging course this fall, designed to re-introduce the act of play as a problem-solving technique. The course is offered as part of the larger project, Cross-disciplinary Education in Social and Ethical Aspects of Nanotechnology funded by NSF.
One of the world’s leading experts on science, technology and innovation in China, Denis Simon recently hosted an ASU conference that focused on the evolving role of science and technology in China’s international relations.
A team of Arizona State University researchers developed new simulations that depict the dynamics of deep Earth, which could be used to explain the complex geochemistry of lava from hotspots such as Hawaii.
Three Arizona State University researchers have received a grant from the National Science Foundation to lead a workshop to build a global, multi-institutional network of collaborators to celebrate the bicentennial of the publication of Mary Shelley’s "Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus."
An international research group led by Arizona State University professor Qiang "Shawn" Chen has developed a new generation of potentially safer and more cost-effective therapeutics against West Nile virus and other pathogens.
Winner of a Lifetime Achievement Award for his trailblazing investigations into the genetic basis of bacterial infection, Roy Curtiss III is recognized as one of the world’s outstanding figures in the field of vaccinology. His dramatic career began at an early age - at the Albany Flower Show.
Two teams from Arizona State University are making scientific breakthroughs, developing ways to prevent fogging on surgical lenses and producing a tablet that will immediately test for contaminated water.
Results from a new study co-authored by Netra Chhetri, a faculty member at the Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes at Arizona State University, show global warming of only two degrees Celsius will be detrimental to three essential food crops in temperate and tropical regions. And beginning in the 2030s, yields from those crops will start to decline significantly.
In a recent early online edition of Nature Chemistry, ASU scientists, along with colleagues at Argonne National Laboratory, report advances toward perfecting a functional artificial leaf.
Humans living in densely populated urban areas have a profound impact not only on their physical environment, but also on the health and fitness of native wildlife. For the first time, scientists have found a direct link between the degree of urbanization and the prevalence and severity of two distinct parasites in wild house finches.
It’s taken nearly 200 years, but scientists in Arizona and Europe have teased out how the molecular switch for sex gradually and adaptively evolved in the honeybee.
Technological innovation drives the development of research, state-of-the art learning laboratories, “Green” buildings. Now breaking new ground in virtual communications, Arizona State University has launched its first interactive, multimedia magazine app.
The Institute for Interdisciplinary Salivary Bioscience Research at Arizona State University has launched a collaborative partnership with the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research centered on advancing understanding of individual animal's well-being, behavior, reproductive cycles and health.
Arizona State University Associate Professor and family therapist Larry Dumka offers insight into making the most of the season by focusing on things that really matter to you and those you love.
To protect themselves, some animals rapidly change color when their environments change, but chameleons change colors in unusual ways when they interact with other chameleons. Arizona State University researchers have discovered that these color changes don’t happen “out-of-the-blue” — instead, they convey different types of information during important social interactions.
It is hard to image the Colorado River, whose headlands start in the Rocky Mountains and serve more than 36 million users in the U.S., running dry. However, by the time the remaining nine percent of the original flow meets the Morelos Dam in Mexico, 90 percent of the riparian areas have vanished. "We've got at least a year, maybe two years before we start seeing [water] shortages in Arizona," said Michael Cohen, one of eight experts who presented at the "Adapting to a water-stressed West" water forum at ASU.
Arizona State University and Johns Hopkins University researchers will launch a pilot study to test the effects of an intervention targeted to reduce school-wide stress with funding from CityBridge Foundation and The Ludwig Family Foundation.
Arizona State University scientists have developed a microfluidic chip that can sort good germs from bad. The team, led by professor Mark A. Hayes, hopes to create handheld, battery-operated devices that could deliver clinical answers in minutes, instead of days.
