Life is a product of many genes that interact to enhance fitness. Genetics has made much progress in mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that affect complex traits while the probing of epistasis is ...

In the Fe-chalcogenide superconductors, topology, superconductivity, and magnetism all come together to provide a platform for a range of exotic quantum phenomena. Topology and superconductivity can ...

Evaluation of the electrostatic properties of biomolecules has become a standard practice in molecular biophysics. Foremost among the models used to elucidate the electrostatic potential is the ...

Water provides an attractive medium for storing solar energy via water splitting. Charge-separated states generated by solar capture may be transferred to catalysts that split water to hydrogen and ...

The most important single economic concept in the economics of climate change is the social cost of carbon (SCC). At present, regulations with more than $1 trillion of benefits have been written for ...

Evaporation-driven particle self-assembly can be used to generate three-dimensional microstructures. We present a unique method to create colloidal microstructures in which we can control the amount ...
