Researchers are investigating ways to design structural materials that develop fewer, smaller flaws under irradiation. Radiation can harm spacecraft, nuclear power plants and high-energy accelerators.

The origins of modern structural biology date back to the 1910s, when the German physicist Max von Laue discovered that biological crystal samples irradiated with X-rays produced diffraction patterns ...

Forest Structural Complexity and Biomass Predict First-Year Carbon Cycling Responses to Disturbance Christopher M. Gough, Jeff W. Atkins, Ben Bond-Lamberty, Elizabeth A. Agee, Kalyn R. Dorheim, Robert ...

Forests in the eastern United States that are structurally complex — the arrangement of vegetation is varied throughout the physical space — sequester more carbon, according to a new study in Ecology, ...
