Combining novel theoretical and experimental approaches, researchers from the University of Michigan (USA), Kookmin University (South Korea), the University of Konstanz (Germany) and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (Japan) have successfully measured and described the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions – a key quantity in nanoscale transport phenomena that has so far eluded direct experimental determination.

NASA Finds One Burst of Energy in Weakening Depression Dalila
Infrared imagery from NASA’s Aqua satellite found just a small area of cold clouds in thunderstorms within weakening Tropical Depression Dalila, enough to maintain it as a tropical cyclone.
How and Why Resistance Training Is Imperative for Older Adults
For many older adults, resistance training may not be part of their daily routine, but a new position statement suggests it is vital to improving their health and longevity.
NASA’s Terra Satellite Finds Tropical Storm 07W’s Strength on the Side
Wind shear can push clouds and thunderstorms away from the center of a tropical cyclone and that’s exactly what infrared imagery from NASA’s Terra satellite shows is happening in newly formed Tropical Storm 07W.
Researchers Create Model to Predict Risk of Low Blood Sugar in People with Diabetes
A new study identifies the risk factors that could help healthcare providers recognize patients being treated for diabetes who are most likely to have low blood sugar.
Slug, A Stem Cell Regulator, Keeps Breast Cells Healthy by Promoting Repair of DNA Damage
A new study published in Cell Reports found that a transcription factor called Slug serves as ‘command central’ for determining breast stem cell health, regulating both stem cell activity and repair of DNA damage.
