Traditionally, biology has been employed for providing renewable energy primarily by producing biomass or in fermentations thereof to low molecular weight fuels. However, the low efficiencies of conversion, the chemical heterogeneity of biomass, and the significant impact on resources motivated exploring other molecular biocatalytic processes for developing new bioenergy platform ...

Cosmology, Black Holes, and String Theory - Lecture 2Black hole and cosmological horizons -- from which nothing can escape according to classical gravity -- play a crucial role in physics. They are central to our understanding of the origin of structure in the universe, but also lead to fascinating and persistent theoretical puzzles. They have become accessible observationally ...

THE TEENAGE BRAINFor years, scientists were driven by the assumption that brain growth was nearly complete by the time a child began kindergarten, leading them to believe that the adolescent brain was essentially identical to that of an adult - only with less mileage. However, new research shows the importance of formative teen years for brain development. ...
