Newly discovered receptor helps to sneak a peek at evolution

What mammals and yeasts can do, plants can do, too: inserting proteins into membranes via a specific pathway. A legacy of their last common ancestor.

Mikroskopische Aufnahme von Nanopartikeln
Using a robotic arm

Catalytic activity of individual cobalt oxide nanoparticles determined

Analyzing nanoparticles individually is a challenge precisely because they are so small. A new technique using electron microscopy and a robotic arm could make the process much easier.
