Artificial intelligence systems are often praised for their accuracy at the moment they are deployed. Yet the world these systems observe rarely stays still. Consumer...
Quantum information researchers have proposed a new route toward solving one of the field’s most persistent open problems: the CQC conjecture, a mathematical statement about...
DNA double-strand breaks are among the most dangerous forms of genetic damage a cell can experience. When both strands of the DNA double helix are...
Hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common primary cancer of the liver, may have an unexpected vulnerability: copper. A new mini-review published in Molecular Biology Reports examines...
Koalas may carry more genetic variation in a crucial first line of immune defence than previously recognised, according to a new study of 413 wild...
A small molecule with a reputation rooted in sustainable chemistry may be about to acquire a new identity in agriculture. Researchers in China report that...
A new metagenomic study from the northeastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau has revealed that the identity of grazing livestock may help shape not only alpine grassland vegetation,...
A published correction has repaired two record-keeping problems in a widely watched study of early hospital discharge after transcatheter aortic valve implantation, or TAVI, using...
Multiple myeloma, a cancer of antibody-producing plasma cells, has long challenged physicians because it behaves less like a single disease than a shifting ecosystem of...
Tumors do not grow in isolation. They develop within a complex ecosystem of blood vessels, connective tissue, signaling molecules and immune cells that can either...
Long COVID may involve more than lingering inflammation or viral persistence. A new study in Acta Neuropathologica reports evidence that antibodies circulating in some patients...
A new review published in Environmental Chemistry Letters highlights nano-silica as one of the most promising tools for solving a long-standing problem in enhanced oil...
Electronic noise is often the hidden limit in advanced transistor technologies. A device may switch rapidly, consume very little power, and offer an exceptionally steep...
A new study reports a low-cost, noble-metal-free catalyst that can convert toxic carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide at remarkably low temperatures, while retaining useful activity...
Rice straw, one of agriculture’s most abundant residues, has been transformed into a lightweight insulation material with a surprising combination of low heat transfer and...
