Broadband tip-enhanced nonlinear optical response in a plasmonic nanocavity
Squeezing light beyond the diffraction limit and controlling the optical processes caused by nano-confined light are central issues of nanophotonics. In particular, localized and...
Researchers reveal a powerful platform for studying high-entropy alloy electrocatalysis
Introduced in 2004, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) are alloys composed of multiple principal elements in nearly equiatomic proportions. Their unique chemical composition results in a high...
Enhanced light sensitivity may contribute to Alzheimer’s ‘sundowning,’ disease progression
New Alzheimer’s research from UVA Health suggests that enhanced light sensitivity may contribute to “sundowning” – the worsening of symptoms late in the day – and spur...
Selectivity effect of molecular chirality may have universal applications, researchers find
Matter behaves differently at various scales. At the microscopic, the behavior of molecules and their atomic constituents can shift drastically simply because the scale is...
San Diego family shares recent tragedy of losing daughter to necrotizing enterocolitis, as NEC Society prepares for the NEC Symposium in San Diego

The structures of six states of a rotary sodium ion pump are revealed
Six structures exhibited by the rotating sodium ion pump were reconstructed in 3D using cryo-electron microscopy. This analysis revealed that (1) the rotor exhibits non-uniform...
Structure of opioid receptors may reveal how to better design pain relievers, addiction therapies
Opioids remain the most potent and effective pain relievers in medicine, but they’re also among the most addictive drugs that can halt a person’s ability...

Genome analysis of 46,000-year-old roundworm from Siberian permafrost reveals novel species
Some organisms, such as tardigrades, rotifers, and nematodes, can survive harsh conditions by entering a dormant state known as “cryptobiosis.” In 2018, researchers from the...
Nematode resurrected from Siberian permafrost laid dormant for 46,000 years
A soil nematode reanimated from Siberian permafrost had laid dormant for approximately 46,000 years, according to a study publishing July 27, 2023 in the open...
Tau-regulating protein identified as a promising target for developing Alzheimer’s disease treatment
PHILADELPHIA – A gene encoding a protein linked to tau production—tripartite motif protein 11 (TRIM11)—was found to suppress deterioration in small animal models of neurodegenerative...
Ancient pathogens emerging from melting ice and permafrost risk eroding ecosystems
Climate change could hasten the release of ‘time-travelling’ pathogens from melting permafrost and ice that have been trapped for millennia. Their emergence increases threats to...
