Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide. Patients diagnosed with HCC face low survival rates, around 10% surviving for...
Three structural biologists, whose groundbreaking research has paved the way for novel disease treatments and revealed new insights into the immune system, have been announced...
A new study shows how organic molecules greatly influence the redox potential of gold nanoparticles, with differences up to 71 mV. Using experiments and computer...
An international team of physicists, centered at Trinity College Dublin, has proven new theorems in quantum mechanics that describe the “energy landscapes” of collections of...
People who consume psilocybin-containing mushrooms — otherwise known as magic mushrooms — typically undergo a surreal experience in which their sense of space, time and...
A study published in Crystal Growth & Design, "Surface Analysis - From Crystal Structures to Particle Properties," highlights the suite’s ability to visualize and quantify...
Lice have been found feeding on the skin and blood of free-range chickens, which are infected at much higher rates than caged flocks. This finding...
An ageing population will bring colossal health, social, and economic challenges over the coming decades. As people live longer, staving off the physical decline and...
A major obstacle for net zero technologies in combatting climate change is bridging the gap between fundamental research and its application in the real world.Credit:...
(Santa Barbara, Calif.) — Where hidden water tables meet the Earth’s surface, life can thrive even in the driest locations. Offering refuge during times of...
Researchers have analysed data from 127 studies to reveal ‘thresholds’ for when logged rainforests lose the ability to sustain themselves.Credit: Zoe G. Davies Researchers have...
When you think of a battery, you probably don’t think stretchy. But batteries will need this shape-shifting quality to be incorporated into flexible electronics, which...
Opioid medications offer people relief from debilitating pain, but these drugs come with dangers: the risk for addiction, miserable withdrawal symptoms and the potential for...
Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased likelihood of other such outbreaks in the future warrant the strengthening of epidemic surveillance systems. Among these, continuous...
