Scientists Successfully Characterize Molecular Structure of Small Heat Shock Protein

Small heat shock proteins ensure that other proteins do not clot, allowing the cell to survive stress. Defects in these "small helpers" are associated with medical conditions like cataracts and cancer. Now, scientists at the Technische Universität München (TUM) have characterized a small heat shock protein responsible for embryonic development in the Caenorhabditis elegans nematode. Presumably, a similar protein exists also in humans.

Photoelectron Spectroscopy in Near-Total-Reflection Geometry Could Help Investigate Buried Interfaces

The nanoscale device community has shown great interest in exploiting the unique properties of ferroelectric materials for encoding information. But the circuitry for reading information stored in the polarization of these materials has prohibited its adaptation to extremely small scales. Now, researchers at Berkeley Lab and the Soleil Synchrotron in Paris have developed a new technique that provides key information for an alternative decoding method, where better understanding will help to fully harness the properties of these devices.
