In-Situ Friction Stir Forging Produces Near-Net-Shape Soft Magnetic Composite Parts
Soft magnetic components are the quiet workhorses of modern technology. They channel and reshape magnetic fields inside electric motors, transformers, inductors, sensors and power-conversion systems,...
Scientists uncover design rules for high-performance thermoelectric materials
A new theoretical study from Tokyo Metropolitan University could change how scientists search for the next generation of thermoelectric materials—substances capable of converting wasted heat...
New analysis maps China’s ozone pollution pathways and mitigation strategies
China’s progress in reducing fine particulate pollution has exposed a more elusive threat in the nation’s atmosphere: ozone. A new article in Engineering warns that...
Alcohol reshapes liver zonation and immune-metabolic programming in metabolic syndrome-associated liver cancer
Alcohol is doing more than adding calories or damaging liver cells one by one. A new study by Tian, Xue, Sun and colleagues examines how...
National labs collaborate to accelerate qualification of critical nuclear components
The United States is turning to robotic metal 3D printing in an effort to solve one of nuclear energy’s most stubborn manufacturing problems: the limited...
Blood-camouflaged liquid metal nanoparticles combat aggressive breast cancer
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has earned its reputation as one of oncology’s most formidable challenges because it removes the molecular handles that make many other...
GPR52’s Role in Breast Cancer Cell Organization and Collective Invasion
Breast cancer cells do not always spread as solitary invaders. In many of the most difficult-to-treat tumors, they move through surrounding tissue as coordinated groups,...
Hertz Foundation Entrepreneurship Award Backs Open-Access Human Cell Surface Map
A New Open-Access Atlas Could Solve One of Drug Development’s Biggest Delivery Problems For a promising medicine, identifying the right biological target is only the...
Scientists discover molecule fueling one of breast cancer’s deadliest forms
Australian researchers have identified a molecular vulnerability that could help explain why triple-negative breast cancer so readily spreads through the body—and may have revealed a...
Experts urge free, standard automatic crash alerts in every new vehicle
Automatic Crash Alerts Could Become the Next Essential Vehicle Safety Feature A technology that can summon emergency help before a crash victim is able to...
Drug combination shows promise against advanced prostate cancer
A new study from researchers at the University of Michigan has identified a potential two-drug strategy for treating an aggressive form of prostate cancer that...
Bringing Optical Fibre Materials to Photonic Chips
Optical fibres have carried the world’s internet traffic across oceans and continents because they can guide light for astonishing distances with remarkably little loss. Now,...
UCLA study: Concrete’s carbon absorption barely offsets cement production emissions
Concrete may absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but the process is far too slow and limited to counteract the emissions generated by cement production,...
Study reveals how NF1 loss enables ER-positive breast cancer bone metastasis
A Baylor College of Medicine-led research team has identified a molecular route by which estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer cells may become especially capable of...
