A groundbreaking study recently published in JAMA indicates that aspirin may not be necessary as part of an antithrombotic regimen for patients with a fully...
“Triple star” discovery could revolutionise understanding of stellar evolution
A ground-breaking new discovery by University of Leeds scientists could transform the way astronomers understand some of the biggest and most common stars in the...
Low-quality studies on early interventions for autism dominate the field, says researchers
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that autism is becoming more common in young children. In an effort to...
Predicting the molecular functions of regulatory genetic variants associated with cancer
“Effectively integrating these rich resources with GWAS results will continue to help prioritize causative inherited genetic variants and improve our molecular understanding of disease etiology...
‘Woman the hunter’: Studies aim to correct history
When Cara Ocobock was a young child, she often wondered at the images in movies, books, comics and cartoons portraying prehistoric men and women as...
Personalized cancer medicine: humans make better treatment decisions than AI
Treating cancer is becoming increasingly complex, but also offers more and more possibilities. After all, the better a tumor’s biology and genetic features are understood,...
Blasts to clear World War II munitions could contaminate the ocean
World War II concluded decades ago, but live mines lurking on the ocean floor still pose threats, potentially spewing unexpected geysers or releasing contaminants into...
Two conductors of a chemical reaction
Catalysts are essential for numerous chemical technologies, ranging from exhaust gas purification to the production of valuable chemicals and energy carriers. Often, tiny traces of...
Boomerang-like beams of light

The formation of switchable and metastable discrete structures through chiral self-sorting
This paper describes chiral coordination dimers that emerge based on effectively exclusive chiral self-sorting. The complex also exhibits thermo-/mechano-chromism originating from monomer-dimer transformation. The homochiral...
New computer code for mechanics of tissues and cells in three dimensions
Biological materials are made of individual components, including tiny motors that convert fuel into motion. This creates patterns of movement, and the material shapes itself...
Investigating the contribution of gamma-ray blazar flares to neutrino flux
Blazars belong to the family of active galactic nuclei called quasars. What differentiates them from quasars is that the flares ejected out of these active...
These bats use their penis as an “arm” during sex but not for penetration
Mammals usually mate via penetrative sex, but researchers report November 20 in the journal Current Biology that a species of bat, the serotine bat, (Eptesicus...
