In the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, alien radio signals would be swamped by interference from radio sources on Earth. To confirm, researchers point away from the source and then back. If it’s still there, it may be interesting. Researchers…
Researchers have developed an automatic process for making soft sensors. These universal measurement cells can be attached to almost any kind of object. Applications are envisioned especially in robotics and prosthetics.
A recent study centers around the idea that various anti-inflammatory drugs could be effective treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. This study focused on a protein known as p38. Many labs have been working with this protein as a potential target for dru…
Researchers have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in studying how vortices move in these quantum fluids. A new study of vortex ring motion in superfluid helium provides crucial evidence supporting a recently developed theoretical model of quantized …
In a new study, researchers have found that the restoration efforts of the critically endangered species elkhorn coral depend largely on the animal’s location, microbiome, and the right conditions to provide an abundance of food.
A new study finds concussions don’t reduce the IQ of children. Findings may help to reduce parental fears regarding these common and concerning head injuries. Researchers looked at socioeconomic status, patient sex, severity of injuries, concussion his…

Pharmaceutical scientists and biologists are teaming up to make the next generation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for drug delivery. Combining structural biology with cutting edge pharmaceutical science, the team is designing LNPs that can precisely de…
Researchers are using DNA ‘origami’ templates to control the way viruses are assembled. The global team behind the research developed a way to direct the assembly of virus capsids — the protein shell of viruses — at physiological conditions in a prec…
Common bone density scans can detect a predictor of cardiovascular health risk — a process which can now be done a LOT faster.
ChatGPT’s responses to people’s healthcare-related queries are nearly indistinguishable from those provided by humans, a new study reveals, suggesting the potential for chatbots to be effective allies to healthcare providers’ communications with patients.
Giving patients with operable pancreatic cancers a three-pronged combination immunotherapy treatment consisting of the pancreatic cancer vaccine GVAX, the immune checkpoint therapy nivolumab and urelemab, an anti-CD137 agonist antibody treatment, is sa…
