Cell membrane proteins hide secret gateways that can be used to modify cell behavior. This has been demonstrated in a study led by the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and published in Nature Communications.
Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have introduced a new class of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces capable of dynamically shaping terahertz (THz) and millimeter (mm) waves. Detailed ...
MIT engineers have devised a new way to deliver certain drugs in higher doses with less pain, by injecting them as a suspension of tiny crystals. Once under the skin, the crystals assemble into a drug "depot" that could last ...
In human society, men tend to be seen as risk-takers, while women are seen as being more cautious. According to evolutionary psychologists, this difference developed in the wake of threats to each sex and their respective ...
In the search for solutions to diseases like cancer, scientists are pursuing a new frontier in biology—the spatial and temporal places where our cells live.
A research team led by Prof. Cao Xiaofeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has uncovered the cooperative roles of photoreceptors, epigenetic modifiers, ...
A research team led by Rice University's Yang Gao has uncovered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a protein that regulates ribonucleic acid (RNA) induced immune responses. Their findings, published in Molecular ...
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used electroluminescent devices that emit light in response to an applied electric voltage. These devices are central components of various electronic and optoelectronic technologies, ...
For decades, people have been trying to directly detect dark matter: the missing mass in our universe. Now, there's a new, super-sensitive detector on the case—and even though it's still in the research and development ...
The annual watchdog report tasked to gauge NASA safety commended the agency's handling of last year's beleaguered Boeing Starliner mission, but revealed yet another issue found during the flight and questioned NASA's needs ...
