- Description:
- Low-dimensional materials have emerged as a promising platform for ultrathin electronic and optoelectronic devices. The span of electronic properties covers the spectrum from metallic through small and medium bandgap semiconductors to large bandgap insulators, providing all the necessary components to fabricate a variety of devices. Compared to bulk-semiconductor based devices,...

- Description:
- Researchers and educators have argued that productive learning may occur when young people have freedom to organize their activity based on their own interests and concerns. Schools increasingly provide “makerspaces” that allow students to design and build objects and technical devices of their choosing, and researchers have developed in-school programs...

- Description:
- Animals must establish the correct form during development. Regeneration is a process by which some animals reestablish their form following injury. This process requires both the generation of new missing cells after injury, and information to pattern new cells to reestablish the correct form. Planarian flatworms have an almost unlimited...

- Description:
- The ribosome, the cell’s machine for synthesizing proteins, can be thought of as the chef of the cell. Just as a chef reads a recipe and combines ingredients to create a dish, the ribosome reads cellular instructions and connects building block molecules (amino acids) to construct proteins. Like the final...

- Description:
- Chapter 1: Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein enzyme that counteracts the shortening of telomeres by catalyzing the addition of nucleotides to the 3’ ends of chromosomes, resulting in telomerase inhibition attracting interest as a strategy for cancer. Telomerase has also been implicated in other tumorigenic pathways such as DNA damage repair,...
