The Colorado River is a vital source of water in the Western United States, providing drinking water for homes and irrigation for farms in seven states, but the basin is under increasing pressure from climate change and drought. A new computational tool developed by a research team, led by Penn State scientists, may help the region adapt to a complex and uncertain future.

Eric Schreiter and Luke Lavis thought they had figured it out. In 2021, the Janelia group leaders reported that they had developed a way to combine Schreiter's engineered protein biosensors and Lavis's bright, fluorescent Janelia Fluor dyes.

Cells are highly controlled spaces that rely on every protein being in the right place. Many diseases, including cancers and neurodegenerative disorders, are associated with misplaced proteins. In some cancers, for instance, a protein that normally stands watch over DNA replicating in the nucleus is sent far from the DNA it is meant to monitor, allowing cancers to grow.

One of the most surprising predictions of physics is entanglement, a phenomenon where objects can be some distance apart but still linked together. The best-known examples of entanglement involve tiny chunks of light (photons), and low energies.

It's not easy finding food at sea. Seabirds often stay aloft, scanning the churning waters for elusive prey. Most seabirds take fish, squid, or other prey from the first few meters of seawater. Scavenging is common.

As anyone who's spent time in the saddle knows, riding a horse can be hard on your body. But can it change the way your skeleton looks?

Antiferromagnets are materials in which the magnetic moments of neighboring atoms are aligned in an alternating pattern, resulting in no net macroscopic magnetism. These materials have interesting properties that could be favorable for the development of spintronic and electronic devices.

After an unexpected measurement by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experiment in 2022, physicists on the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment (CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) announced today a new mass measurement of the W boson, one of nature's force-carrying particles.

The fall of Rome in 476 AD marked the end of an era, but not the end of its legacy. As the Western Roman Empire crumbled under pressure from Germanic invaders, the concept of "Rome" as the pinnacle of power and civilization endured. In the centuries that followed, various states and empires sought to claim the mantle of Roman succession, each believing they were the true heirs to the imperial legacy. From the Byzantine Empire in the East to the Holy Roman Empire in the West, and even to the far-reaching claims of the Russian tsars, the idea of Rome continued to shape European politics, culture, and identity long after the last emperor was deposed. What Did the Romans Ever Do for Us? (Video) Japan’s Succession Crisis: No Male Heirs Means Ancient Monarchy May Soon Disappear! Roman Succession: The Quest for Imperial Legitimacy Why Would States Claim Roman Succession? The temptation to claim Roman succession was a strong one. It came with plenty of benefits and few, if any, downsides. States and individual rulers sought this status for reasons that ranged from political and economic to cultural. Legitimacy and Prestige: Attaching themselves to Rome’s impressive legacy was an excellent way for rulers to give themselves instant credibility and elevate their perceived status.
