Researchers have clarified the chemical compatibility between high temperature liquid metal tin (Sn) and reduced activation ferritic martensitic, a candidate structural material for fusion reactors. This discovery has paved the way for the development …
Sea urchin larvae raised in high levels of plastic pollution die due to developmental abnormalities, new research shows.
Dementia is a growing global public health concern currently affecting 50 million people and is expected to rise dramatically to more than 150 million cases worldwide by 2050. Obesity, commonly measured by body mass index (BMI), continues to be a globa…
Researchers have uncovered a protein produced by the immune system, suPAR, that causes atherosclerosis . Investigators say it’s the first immune target to treat cardiovascular disease, which affects over 1 billion people worldwide. Researchers believe …
Kinesin proteins eat away at microtubules, shortening them and pulling chromosomes to opposite spindle poles during cell division in most organisms. However, fission yeast lacks these proteins, and yet undergoes the same process. A recent study indicat…
Millions of people across the globe regularly consume arsenic-contaminated water. Exposure to arsenic has previously been associated with the development of various cancers including skin cancer. Research on the underlying molecular mechanisms regulati…
Researchers have developed a new all-optical method for driving multiple highly dense nanolaser arrays. As described in Optica, the approach could enable chip-based optical communication links that process and move data faster than today’s electronic-b…
Enhancing the virtual experience with the touch sensation has become a hot topic, but today’s haptic devices remain typically bulky and tangled with wires. Researchers have now developed an advanced wireless haptic interface system, called WeTac, worn …
A new gelatinous robot that crawls, powered by nothing more than temperature change and clever design, brings ‘a kind of intelligence’ to the field of soft robotics.
Scientists find that a modified immune protein harming brain connections is much more common in the brains of women with Alzheimer’s, compared to men.
