Small particles from tires inhibited the growth and caused adverse behavioral changes in organisms found in freshwater and coastal estuary ecosystems, two new research papers found.
Semiconductor experiments reveal a surprising new source of conductivity from oxygen atoms trapped inside the material.
Doing less exercise could deactivate a vital protein in the body, causing further inactivity and making exercise more difficult, new research suggests. Deactivating the Piezo1 protein, a blood flow sensor, reduces the density of capillaries carrying b…
New research reveals how our immune system can be triggered to attack cancer cells. The research could help develop new approaches to treating people with leukemia. The team studied acute myeloid leukaemia – a blood cancer which is very difficult to tr…
An ultrasound scan can be used to detect cases of prostate cancer, according to new research.
Scientists demonstrate an optical trapping technique using nanotextured black silicon that can efficiently trap polymer chains. By adjusting the laser intensity, these ‘optical tweezers’ can control the florescence color emitted through a local concent…
Labelling of plastic products needs a drastic overhaul including a new ‘sustainability scale’ to help consumers, researchers say.
A new, highly sensitive system for detecting the production of hydrogen gas may play an important role in the quest to develop hydrogen as an environmentally friendly and economical alternative to fossil fuels.
Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, can create custom parts for electromagnetic devices on-demand and at a low cost. These devices are highly sensitive, and each component requires precise fabrication. Until recently, though, the only way to diagno…
