Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Searching for hydrothermal vent archaea in the deep subsurface of Guaymas Basin
With increasing subseafloor depth, temperatures increase and impact microbial subsurface life. Will high subseafloor temperatures that approach hydrothermal vent conditions select for hydrothermal vent microbes, including hyperthermophiles? A comprehensive sequencing census is seeking the answer.
Investigating subcellular transcriptional programs in triple negative breast cancer cells
Gene expression programs are fundamental for the right maintenance of the cell, in fact they are known to be aberrant in cancer cells. Until now, gene expression programs have been investigated in a limited manner. This work aims to achieve a more detailed characterization of these programs.
A joint diffusion/collision model for crystal growth in pure liquid metals
In this paper, I proposed a joint diffusion/collision model to describe the growth kinetics of the liquid/solid interfaces for pure metals. This study resolved a long-standing
questions in solidification theory: Whether or not the growth is thermal activated in pure
liquid metals?
The NEREA Augmented Observatory: an integrative approach to marine coastal ecology
This post shares the story behind our recent Scientific Data paper, detailing the creation of the NEREA Augmented Observatory. Discover how we overcame challenges, innovated data collection, and collaborated to advance marine ecological research in the Gulf of Naples.
