Last Month's Most Accessed Feature: Venusian vortex - Infrared images of planetary sibling
The South Polar Vortex of the planet Venus, second planet from the Sun, shows a much more chaotic and unpredictable weather system than had previously been recognised by astronomers. A new analysis of IR images shows that the axis of rotation of this vortex is nomadic about the pole depending on the particular altitude level in the clouds at which it is observed, revealing a much more unpredictable storm and morphology than thought.

Apr 29, 2013
The chemical composition of the wings of the Clanger cicada (Psaltoda claripennis) were characterized using infrared (IR) microspectroscopy and IR imaging with a view to reproducing their characteristics in industrial applications.
Journal Highlight: Assessment of resin formulations and determination of the formaldehyde to urea molar ratio by near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis
spectroscopyNOW
Apr 15, 2013
The molar ratios of formaldehyde to urea in resin formulations have been analyzed by ATR-FTIR and FT-NIR spectroscopy, using PCA to separate them according to molar ratios and to distinguish between two groups of resins, and SIMCA to classify new resin samples.

Protein Science, the flagship journal of The Protein Society, serves an international forum for publishing original reports on all scientific aspects of protein molecules. The Journal publishes papers by leading scientists from all over the world that report on advances in the understanding of proteins in the broadest sense. Protein Science aims to unify this field by cutting across established disciplinary lines and focusing on “protein-centered” science.
