Neuronal cultures advance ‘brain-on-a-chip’ technology Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have increased the c neuronal cultures grown on microelectrode arrays, a key step toward more accu reproducing the cellular composition of the human brain outside the body.. As d recently published paper in Scientific Reports, an LLNL team led by biomedical s Heather Enright cultured rodent-derived ... www.llnl.gov
Compressive shearing may start life on other planets | Lawrence Liv National Laboratory - llnl.gov
Massive compressive shearing forces generated by the tidal pull of Jupiter-like p their rocky ice-covered moons may form a natural reactor that drives simple ami polymerize into larger compounds. These extreme mechanical forces strongly e molecule condensation reactions, opening a new arena of possibilities for the ch origins of life on Earth and other rocky ... www.llnl.gov
NASA data helps new model predict big solar flares -- ScienceDaily
Scientists have developed a new model that successfully predicted seven of the flares from the last solar cycle, out of a set of nine. With more development, the be used ... www.sciencedaily.com
Record EOS measurement pressures shed light on stellar evolution | Livermore National Laboratory
Using the power of the National Ignition Facility (NIF), the world’s highest-energ system, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and an in team of collaborators have developed an experimental capability for measuring properties of matter, such as the equation of state (EOS), at the highest pressure achieved in a controlled ... www.llnl.gov
