Chemists find binding site of protein that allows plant growth

Research shows a site in the plant cell wall that makes it possible for plants to be grown. This discovery can lead to mass production of harvests and renewable energy. Only a small amount of protein is in cell growth. This discovery was time consuming and very difficult because the cell walls are really complex. 

Feast to famine: Oxygen starvation regulates fat cells in obesity

Feast to famine: Oxygen starvation regulates fat cells in obesity

According to studies, lack of oxygen may be good for you. Proteins are good for adipogenesis, which turn cells to adipose (fat) cells. Adipose is needed for the body. The reason for obesity is bad treatment of the adipose is not oxygenated enough. These facts were proved when scientists tested it on mice.

Scientists create never-before-seen form of matter

Scientists create never-before-seen form of matter

Students from MIT and Harvard are experimenting with light. Coax photons joined and made molecules at a center for Ultracold Atoms. This is a new discovery and opposes the theory of the nature of light. They are called photonic molecules, and were only used in science fiction, as in a light saber from Star Wars!

IUPAC votes to change standard atomic weights of 19 elements

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) voted to change the standard atomic weight for 19 elements to make the weight more exact. The IUPAC has controlled changes in the Periodic Table of Elements since 1919. When these changes are used in the Elements, it is said that the format and changes will be made in the Periodic Table of Elements. Exact weights help archaeologists get better examples for the element, and these changes will take place sometime next year.
