Haploid cells, which contain one copy of each chromosome, should not undergo further reduction of their chromosome number (through a type of cell division called meiosis). To prevent such a catastrophic event, haploids block the production of a protein called IME4, which triggers meiosis, by expressing antisense IME4. Failure to block sense IME4 results in the aberrant meiotic events shown above i...

A supernova remnant acts like a relativistic pinball machine by accelerating electrons to enormous energies. The blue, wispy arcs in this image of Cassiopeia A, the youngest supernova remnant in the Milky Way, show where the acceleration is taking place in an expanding shock wave generated by the explosion. The red and green regions show material from the destroyed star that has been heated to mil...

The series above illustrates the triple shape effect of a fastener consisting of a plate with two anchors prepared from CL(50)EG: Starting at 20 degrees Celsius, the device, in an easily-handled form, is put into a scaffold, right, which might be difficult to access (a). Increasing the temperature to 40Â C triggers unfolding and positioning into the cavity, left (figures b to d). Increasing the ...
