Biomedical Science
Detection of the cancer microenvironment may soon become much easier with the help of a new molecular biosensor recently developed by a team of scientists.
Chemical Engineering
Researchers have fabricated pressure sensors that use paper as the medium.
Behavioural Science
Researchers have uncovered previously unknown details about how changes in the brain contribute to changes in wellbeing.
Medical Science
Scientists have identified a new mechanism that slows down and may even prevent the natural ageing of immune cells – one of the nine ‘hallmarks of ageing’.
Plant Science
Researchers have studied how certain bacteria perform photosynthesis using low-energy light, which could be engineered into crops to boost production.
Biotechnology
Scientists have used a systems genetics approach to unravel novel genetic and environmental modulators of bile acid homeostasis.
Biotechnology
A new method allows scientists to determine all the molecules present in the lysosomes – the cell’s recycling centers – of mice.
Engineering Science
A new diagnostic imaging technology developed is offering surgeons the ability to make cuts 10 times more precisely.
Biology
The findings have important implications for understanding the basic mechanisms of how organs form, which could aid efforts to diagnose and prevent birth defects.
Neuroscience
The study could resolve one of the mysteries of Parkinson’s disease and lead to new strategies for treating or preventing the neurological disorder.
Robotics
A collaborative effort has installed electronic “brains” on solar-powered robots that are 100 to 250 micrometers in size – smaller than an ant’s head.
Nanotechnology
Researchers have developed a unique type of nanoparticle called a “nanorattle” that greatly enhances light emitted from within its outer shell.
Ecology
But these energetic wood-consuming insects could soon be moving toward the North Pole and South Pole as global temperatures warm from climate change, new research indicates.
Material Science
Developed by chemical and materials science engineers, the material controls the flow of infrared radiation and is stable at temperatures of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit in air.
Biomedical Science
In a proof-of-principle study researchers have shown that smartphones are capable of detecting blood oxygen saturation levels down to 70%.
Environmental Science
A new study looks at the combined effects of air pollution and climate change.
Biology
Grooming decreases before death, but no evidence of increased aggression found.
Biotechnology
A discovery made through computational comparison of genome databases -- proves it’s possible for that enzyme to work within the context of living cells.
Bioengineering
It can be programmed to soak up contaminants from the environment or to catalyze biological reactions, among many possible applications.
Engineering Science
Mechanical and spatial cues can also alter clustered bodies known as nucleoli, which reside inside the cell nucleus and regulate protein synthesis.
