Rice physicists help unravel mystery of repetitive DNA segments
HOUSTON — (Dec. 6, 2010) — With new tools that can grab individual strands of DNA and stretch them like rubber bands, Rice University scientists are working to unravel a mystery of modern genomics. Their latest findings, which appear in Physic…
Promising hydrogen storage material identified
New research by Rice University scientists suggests that a class of material known as metallacarborane could store hydrogen at or better than benchmarks set by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen Program for [...]
Rice study examines how bacteria acquire immunity
HOUSTON — (Sept. 15, 2010) — In a new study this week, Rice University scientists bring the latest tools of computational biology to bear in examining how the processes of natural selection and evolution influence the way bacteria acquire immunity…
Silicon oxide circuits break barrier
Rice University scientists have created the first two-terminal memory chips that use only silicon, one of the most common substances on the planet, in a way that should be easily adaptable to nanoelectronic manufacturing techniques and promises to e…
