Lithium can alleviate the symptoms of bipolar disorder and depression—if taken in just the right amount. Too little won't work, while too much can bring on dangerous side effects. To precisely monitor the amount of this ...
Our bodies' genes work together to regulate how our cells behave. For example, if you skin your knee, your genes use a chemical messaging system to direct an army of cells to heal the abrasion. If scientists could create ...
A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances discusses how active odd-mode-metachannel can provide a new avenue to future single-conductor systems.
A robust nanofiltration membrane that acts as a highly effective molecular sieve can avoid many of the problems with current polymer membranes.
The CREX Collaboration, a large group of researchers from different universities worldwide who are involved in the Calcium Radius Experiment (CREX), has recently collected a precise measurement of the broken mirror symmetry ...
Preservation of the high-pressure states of materials at ambient conditions is a long-sought-after goal for fundamental research and practical applications.
An international team of researchers has developed a new type of strong and elastic two-dimensional (2D) membrane. The invention could prove useful, for instance, in detecting remnants of antibiotics from water.
A new study describes the formation of the body axis in the immortal freshwater polyp Hydra. It is controlled by the so-called Hippo signaling pathway, a molecular biological process that, among other functions, ensures that ...
Researchers created a special ultrathin sensor, spun from gold, that can be attached directly to the skin without irritation or discomfort. The sensor can measure different biomarkers or substances to perform on-body chemical ...
Blood pressure is one of the most important indicators of heart health, but it's tough to frequently and reliably measure outside of a clinical setting. For decades, cuff-based devices that constrict around the arm to give ...
