New experiment maps multiple isotopes showing pygmy excitations
Physicists have reported an unusual “excess” signal of high-energy gamma rays emitted by more than a dozen heavy, unstable nuclei produced in fission. The measurements...
AI Disagreements Could Undermine Patient Trust in Doctors
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Patients’ trust in physicians may rise or fall depending on what artificial intelligence (AI) says during a mental health visit, according...
TSPAN7 Builds Transmembrane Skeleton, Stabilizing Tubular Membranes via Spiral Assembly
Tetraspanins are four-transmembrane proteins best known for organizing cell membranes into specialized microdomains that recruit lipids and partner proteins. Over the past few years, several...
Selectivity Achieved Despite Indiscriminate Photoreduction in New Study
Superselective bond formation in organic synthesis is often ruled by single-electron transfer (SET) chemistry: the substrate with the more favorable redox potential typically reduces faster,...
Experts Reach Consensus on Bedside PDA Closure for Extremely Low-Birth-Weight Infants
A panel of international experts has issued new consensus guidance aimed at improving how patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)—a persistent fetal blood vessel—should be closed in...
Medication Complexity and Risk of Rehospitalization in Older Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
A new study in BMC Geriatrics adds evidence to a growing debate over how medication burden affects outcomes in vulnerable patients. Focusing on older adults...
AI-Guided CRISPR and quantum nanobiology reverse cancer cell behavior
Cancer therapy is increasingly limited by two stubborn realities: tumors change their phenotype as they evolve, and they rarely share a single genetic blueprint. That...
Genome Editing Reinvents Perilla, Boosting Potential of Traditional Herb
Traffic lights aren’t the only things that can shift from red to green. A team at Hiroshima University reports that the color of perilla can...
Melbourne Consensus Offers Framework and Expert Guidance on Pancreatic Fat Accumulation
A new international consensus paper in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology lays out a shared conceptual framework for understanding intrapancreatic fat deposition—fat that accumulates within...
Coordination Chemistry Enables Stable Wide-Bandgap Perovskites for Efficient Tandem Solar Cells
A team from Beijing Institute of Technology and partner institutes has introduced a coordination-regulated strategy to stabilize wide-bandgap perovskites used in high-efficiency tandem solar cells....
Study finds cancer subtype roles in narrowing Black and white mortality gap
Marked reductions in excess mortality for several major cancers signal that population-wide cancer control efforts are making real headway, according to a new cross-sectional temporal...
