They have reached that temperature because the outward flow of energy to space has been slowed
by the molecules in the air and the slowdown is greatest where density is highest at the surface.
That reduction in density results in a temperature fall because the kinetic energy
carried by the molecule when it started at the surface was gradually replaced by potential energy as it rose.
The experiments included sorting immune cells found at injury sites
by molecules on their cellular surfaces, and many hours looking at mouse cells through the microscope.
That's why the researchers use a trick to study the molecules — they measure how strongly the X-ray light is
scattered by the molecules.
Chronic oxidative stress — meaning chronic presence over overly reactive oxygen - containing molecules and cumulative damage to our
cells by these molecules — is a risk factor for development of most cancer types.
Cell biologists would like to reduce the complex communication patterns
traced by molecules that regulate the health of the cell to a set of signaling rules.
The types can be
distinguished by the molecules they produce, but scientists haven't had a full picture of how they interact with each other as signals move through the sensory cortex.
The scientists studied the star - forming clouds by analyzing radio waves emitted at specific, known frequencies
by molecules within the clouds.
Chronic oxidative stress — meaning chronic presence of overly reactive oxygen - containing molecules and cumulative damage to
tissue by these molecules — is a risk factor for the development of most cancer types.
The opening and closing of the tight junctions in the small intestine are predominantly regulated
by a molecule called Zonulin.
However, once opiate addiction had developed, the scientists observed a functional switch to a separate molecular memory pathway,
controlled by a molecule called calmodulin - dependent kinase II or «CaMKII.»
By analysing human endometrial cells implanted in mice, Jan Brosens at the University of Warwick, UK, and his colleagues discovered that the four - day window is
regulated by a molecule called interleukin - 33.
From its orbit 705 kilometers above Earth's surface, OCO - 2 will peer down into the atmosphere with a spectrometer, monitoring the level of CO2 in the atmosphere by detecting sunlight
reflected by molecules of the greenhouse gas.
Luo's lab has long been studying an enzyme called IP6K, and recently showed that it inhibits
signaling by another molecule in neutrophils called PIP3.
Changing gear now, Joseph Cheer from University of Maryland studies the brain receptors that are
stimulated by molecules in cannabis.
Some of this re-radiated energy escapes to space, but much of this is reflected back to the Earth's
surface by molecules in the Earth's atmosphere.
It's delivered to cells
by molecules known as lipoproteins, which are made out of fat and proteins.
Cholesterol is most commonly transported in the
blood by molecules composed of fat and protein called lipoproteins.

by Molecule Tiny Homes that recently sold for $ 50,000.
Perhaps by noting that, throughout the course of our lives, every molecule in our body will be
replaced by another molecule (six times, in fact).
Heat also makes its way through the Earth by conduction — the transfer of thermal energy
by molecules inside a material from hotter areas to colder ones — without causing any motion.
WINE is less likely to be
ruined by molecules that add an unwanted «greeny vegetable» taste if sold in cartons sealed with a thin layer of aluminium.
Further experiments showed that these vomeronasal receptors could be
activated by molecules related to disease, which are excreted in urine when animals are sick.
Lead author, Dr Oleg Polyansky, UCL Physics & Astronomy, said: «We have long known the exact quantum mechanical equations
obeyed by a molecule like CO2; however these equations are much too complicated to solve explicitly.
«The light emitted
by a molecule depends on the shape of its electron cloud, which can be sculptured by modern lasers,» Bondar said.
This outing is part of a workshop on the fungi commonly known as mushrooms — a class of organisms whose cell walls are
stiffened by a molecule called chitin instead of the cellulose found in plants, and whose most ardent scientific evangelist is the man ahead of us.
And it's essential to understand how neurobiological processing
conducted by molecules and cells and electrical signaling gets translated into behaviors, from simple bodily movements to complex social interactions.
SERS is a surface - sensitive technique that enhances the inelastic scattering of
photons by molecules adsorbed on rough metal surfaces or by nanostructures.
The forces
experienced by molecules in cells, but also in all the materials around us, are so small that even the most accurate existing measuring devices are barely able to detect whether it is a force at all.
