Physical systems far from the thermodynamic equilibrium are characterised by exhibiting coexistence of states 1, that is, for the same parameters different equilibria are observed. As a consequence of ...

The physiological asymmetry between daughters of a mother bacterium is produced by the inheritance of either old poles, carrying non-genetic damage, or newly synthesized poles. However, as bacteria ...

When a new species is introduced into an ecosystem, it may succeed in establishing itself, or it may fail to gain a foothold and die out. Physicists at MIT have now devised a formula that can predict ...

Scientists have long known the ins and outs of equilibrium thermodynamics. Systems in equilibrium — a stable state of unchanging balance — are governed by a neat set of rules, making them predictable ...

One of the major advantages of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is that it depends on heat measurements, which make characterization of native biomolecules possible. It is not necessary to have ...
