Looking to improve the understanding of groundwater salinity and below-ground geology in and around Delaware Bay, the US Geological Survey has begun low-level survey flights in Delaware and New Jersey. Using a helicopter towing a large hoop from a cable, the survey is part of the USGS’s Next Generation Water Observing System project in the … Read more
Raman spectroscopy, an optical microscopy technique, is a non-destructive chemical analysis technique that provides rich molecular fingerprint information about chemical structure, phase, crystallinity, and molecular interactions. The technique relies on the interaction of light with chemical bonds within a material. However, since light is a wave, optical microscopes are unable to resolve distances less than … Read more
Invasive alien mammals can have catastrophic impacts on native flora and fauna, causing species extinctions and driving profound environmental change. Classical control methods such as poison baiting, trapping, or hunting are currently not feasible on a large scale, which is why researchers are looking for alternatives. Credit: Birand et al. Invasive alien mammals can have … Read more
LA JOLLA— (July 6, 2022) Understanding how HIV replicates within cells is key to developing new therapies that could help nearly 40 million people living with HIV globally. Now, a team of scientists from the Salk Institute and Rutgers University have for the first time determined the molecular structure of HIV Pol, a protein that … Read more

While using the Atacama Large Millimeter / submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe large star-forming regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), scientists discovered a turbulent push-and-pull dynamic in the star-forming region, 30 Doradus. Observations revealed that despite intense stellar feedback, gravity is shaping the molecular cloud, and against scientific odds, is driving the ongoing formation … Read more
