At the end of the last ice age, before big ice masses dissolved on the continents surrounding the North Atlantic Ocean, some sporadic episodes of rapid melting of the ancient British Ice Sheet affected ocean currents that are very important for Earth's...
Enzymes are proteins that regulate the rate of chemical reactions involved in biological processes. Researchers at the UAB Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology are currently studying strategies to artificially alter the structure of enzymes in order to modify their behaviour.
Quantum physics analyzes amazing matter properties that you can only observe at microscopic level and that face up to the reality that we can see at our level. Superfluidity, as well as superconductivity, are macroscopic quantum phenomena: superfluids have a great ability to flow without resistance along thin an of...
