Frozen frogs spring back to life

Stiffening Method for “spring-back” Reflectors

The recently proposed concept of spring back reflectors has revolutionised the field of deployable antenna structures. The whole structure is made as a single piece from composite material, without any expensive and potentially unreliable joints, and it is simply folded elastically about a central axis, like a taco shell. Shape distortions occur during manufacturing and are difficult to correct...

Bringing dead proteins back to life

A small molecule called EMD 57033 can repair motor proteins that have stopped working as a result of stress.

Putting life on ice: bacteria that bind to frozen water

Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are typically small, soluble proteins produced by cold-adapted organisms to help them avoid ice damage by either resisting or tolerating freezing. By contrast, the IBP of the Antarctic bacterium Marinomonas primoryensis is an extremely long, 1.5 MDa protein consisting of five different regions. The fourth region, a 34 kDa domain, is the only part that confers ice bin...
