Air-Stable 2D Superconductors Encapsulated for Next-Generation Quantum Circuits
Two-dimensional superconductors have long been viewed as promising building blocks for next-generation quantum technologies, but their practical use has been limited by a stubborn materials...
Noninvasive Imaging Characterizes Perivascular Spaces in the Subarachnoid Space
A little-known anatomical feature surrounding the brain is moving into the spotlight as researchers investigate how it can be studied without surgery, injections or other...
AI Models Nearly Erase Female Characters in Animal Stories for Children
Artificial intelligence is giving children stories filled with talking animals, magical journeys and personalized illustrations—but a new University of Washington study suggests that these seemingly...
New tumour-model biobank exposes cancer vulnerabilities
A new biobank of three-dimensional human tumour models is giving researchers an unprecedented view of the genes that cancers depend on to survive. The resource,...
Engineering Co–B Bonds Enhances Co(OH)₂–Ru Electrode Stability for Water-Splitting Electrocatalysis
A new cobalt-based electrode that can split water for hydrogen production while surviving hundreds of hours of demanding operation could help address one of green...
Engineered Human Neurons Restore Damaged Spinal Cord Circuits
Spinal cord injuries affect an estimated 15–20 million people worldwide, frequently causing permanent loss of movement, sensation, and independence. Damage in the cervical region of...
Scientists grow muscle protein for fake meat in lettuce and tobacco chloroplasts
Scientists have engineered tobacco and lettuce plants to produce myoglobin—the iron-rich protein responsible for much of meat’s red color and savory flavor—inside their chloroplasts. The...
Stimulation Modulates Gene-Linked Cell Assemblies in the Human Brain
Electrical stimulation of the human brain can reorganize neural activity in ways that are closely tied to gene regulation, according to a new study published...
Entangled particles cross Washington suburbs, advancing quantum network development
A quantum signal has completed a difficult journey through 62 kilometers of aerial fiber in the Maryland suburbs, surviving the vibrations, temperature changes and movement...
Heart attacks decline, cancer cases rise, while survival improves
Medical progress is transforming not only how long people live, but also the diseases they live with. A new population-based study from researchers at the...
WS2-Templated Two-Step Anion Exchange Grows Metastable Quasi-1D W6Te6 on One-Inch Wafers
Metastable materials often vanish from the laboratory bench before researchers can study them. They form only briefly, quickly transforming into more stable structures as atoms...
Targeting sensory nerves after growth plate injuries could enhance healing
A child’s broken bone can heal in an unexpected way. Instead of restoring the delicate architecture of the growth plate, the injury may trigger the...
Pumas May Reduce Wildlife Collisions, Making Roads Safer for Drivers
Living alongside pumas may seem like a dangerous bargain, but new research suggests that the presence of these large predators can make roads safer for...
Chrono-atlas maps cell-specific daily gene rhythms during colon regeneration
A healing colon does not simply switch genes on and off. Its cells appear to follow a complex daily timetable, with different populations activating distinct...
