The Central Andean and Himalayan orogenic belts provide an ideal natural experiment to test the potential role of climate in controlling orogeny. Approximately equal in age and along-strike length, both orogenic wedges are forming in plate-marginal convergent tectonic settings: The Andes in a retroarc setting and the Himalaya in a ...

The human embryo begins as a simple, two-dimensional sheet of cells, with each cell possessing the ability to give rise to any cell type in the body. As development progresses, this sheet repeatedly tears, folds, and elongates to form the complex structures that define the human body. These dramatic changes ...
Solid State Physics is a field which continuously renews itself through the discovery of new materials and new phenomena. This has been particularly true for the subfield of superconductivity. One of the leading figures in this field for more than six decades was Stanford's Ted Geballe. We will review the ...
The traditional archival record has long been critiqued for the absence of depictions of Black life. Moreover, notions of Black livingness in sites of climate and environmental injustice, often known as “sacrifice zones” are often limited. Port Arthur, Texas is in many ways a “classic” example of one of these ...

All known lifeforms rely on the same molecular mechanism to translate information carried by DNA and RNA into proteins. This translation is accomplished by an incredibly complex system involving many dozens of very large and precisely interacting molecules. All viruses, bacteria, plants, and animals ultimately inherited this common molecular machinery ...
