For The Better

Researchers have developed a new method for flexibly creating various needle-shaped laser beams. These long, narrow beams can be used to improve optical coherence tomography (OCT), a noninvasive and versatile imaging tool that is used for scientific re…

A new study has found that using pharmacists as deprescribing care coordinators decreased prescription of anticholinergics by 73 percent and reduced cumulative use of these drugs by as much as 70 percent.

The ancient North American city of Cahokia had as its focal point a feature now known as Monks Mound, a giant earthwork surrounded on its north, south, east and west by large rectangular open areas. A new study of the north plaza suggest it was almost …

Methane emitted from cows is a significant source of greenhouse emissions. Now, a collaborative project has used biomarkers to tell us more about the metabolic and nutritional characteristics linked to enteric methane emissions in Japanese Black cattle.

Telling a child about their mother’s risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer does not adversely influence the offspring’s lifestyle or quality of life in the long term, according to a new study.

Lighting up the B cells. Distinguishing B cells from T cells using an SLC35C2 transporter-targeting fluorescent probe.

Molecular 2D materials find immense applications in materials science, owing to their wide structural variety and easy controllability. Establishing a simple and efficient method for their synthesis is, therefore, important. Now, scientists present a s…

Highly specialized T cells are detectable in blood for at least 20 months after SARS-cov-2 infection, a new study shows.

A research team has succeeded for the first time in producing a molecular electric motor using the DNA origami method. The tiny machine made of genetic material self-assembles and converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. The new nanomotors can b…

Because it’s bigger, Jupiter ought to have larger, more spectacular rings than Saturn has. But new research shows Jupiter’s massive moons prevent that vision from lighting up the night sky.

Genetic mutations could be predicted before they occur using a new law of physics, according to a new study.

A new ‘resilience sensing system’ can identify ecosystems that are in danger of collapse, research shows.

Animals will often put their lives on the line for reproduction, even if it comes at the cost of being the wrong temperature. Thermal biology co-adapts with the traits favored by sexual selection, including things like courtship displays, ornamental co…
