Y Chromosome Map: Insights into Human Evolution and Male Fertility
The Telomere-to-Telomere consortium, led by genomicist Arang Rhie, has successfully sequenced the Y chromosome, finalizing the most comprehensive human genome reference to date. The Y chromosome, notorious for its repetitive sequences hindering prior sequencing efforts, now reveals a surprising organization with alternating blocks forming a quilt-like pattern. Addressing the incomplete understanding from earlier drafts, the […]
Nanotech’s Precision: Electron Beam Restores with Breakthrough Precision.
Electron-beam radiation can be employed to repair nanostructures through a process known as electron-beam-induced deposition or EBID. In EBID, a focused electron beam is directed at the damaged or missing part of the nanostructure. This beam interacts with a precursor gas, causing a chemical reaction that deposits material and restores the structure. It is a […]
