Phys.org / Engineering self-integrated atomic quantum wires to form nano-networks
Quantum advances rely on the production of nanoscale wires that are based on several state-of-the-art nanolithographic technologies, to develop wires via bottom-up synthesis. However, a critical challenge is to grow uniform ...
Medical Xpress / Inhibiting the biological crosstalk of autophagy and mitochondrial function underlying pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells maintain a high level of autophagy or degradation, allowing them to thrive in severely limiting microenvironments. However, the process via which autophagy promotes pancreatic ...
Phys.org / Developing multiple concentration gradients for single cell–level drug screening
The potential to isolate and regulate the biodynamics of single cells is significant in drug design and screening. However, pre-existing experimental reports in single-cell drug screening must yet provide multiple-dose gradient ...
Phys.org / Highly multicolored, light-emitting arrays for compressive spectroscopy on a chip
Miniaturized and multicolored light-emitting device arrays provide a promising instrument to sense, image and compute in materials science and applied physics. A range of emission colors can be achieved by using conventional ...
Phys.org / The dynamics of 'hotspot forming' high-energy quasiparticles in a superconducting nanowire
Energetic quasiparticles possess a collection of quantum characteristics that operate in a particle-like way in superconducting nanostructures, and they can undergo relaxation by involving many cascaded interactions between ...
Medical Xpress / Cancer therapy: Gene silencing of cytoskeleton-associated protein 5 in genetically unstable cancer cells
The therapeutic potential of microtubule-associated protein targets for cancer therapy is a largely unexplored research area due to a lack of target-specific agents. Sushmita Chatterjee and a research team in nanomedicine, ...

Single-photon emitters are crucial building materials suited for optical quantum technologies. Among them, hexagonal boron nitride is a promising two-dimensional material that retains bright, room-temperature single-photon ...
Phys.org / Low sulfide concentration in Mercury's smooth plains inhibits geomorphic hollows
A probe on Mercury used for the purpose of "surface-space-environment-geochemistry-and-ranging" abbreviated as the MESSENGER mission to Mercury, resulted in the discovery of geological structures known as hollows. Such landforms ...
Phys.org / Mechanisms of ultra-fast gigahertz burst femtosecond laser ablation
Gigahertz femtosecond lasers are suited to enhance and regulate laser machining quality to engineer the physicochemical properties of materials. Materials scientists seek to understand the laser-material interactions by gigahertz ...
Phys.org / Skin-on-a-chip: Modeling an innervated epidermal-like layer on a microfluidic chip
Bioengineers and tissue engineers intend to reconstruct skin equivalents with physiologically relevant cellular and matrix architectures for basic research and industrial applications. Skin pathophysiology depends on skin-nerve ...
Phys.org / Melting glasses: The glass-to-liquid transition
The process of liquid-to-glass transition is a complex procedure in science, as is the glass-to-liquid transition known as glass melting. In a new report published in Science Advances, Qi Zhang and a research team in physics ...
Phys.org / Measuring the cohesive force of meteorite fragments to identify the mobility of asteroids
The cohesive force of asteroid particles influence microgravity and can be evaluated under several assumptions of particle size and their sensitivity to particle shape. Approximately hundreds of kilograms of material fall ...
Phys.org / Diversification of the ruminant skull—from microevolutionary processes to macroevolutionary patterns
Evolutionary biologists aim to form fundamental connections between microevolutionary processes and macroevolutionary patterns based on comparative datasets of population-level variation. In a new report on Science Advances, ...
Phys.org / Quantum chemistry simulations on a quantum computer
In a new report now featured on the cover page of and published in Science Advances, Hans Hon Sang Chan and a research team in materials, chemistry and quantum photonics at the University of Oxford generated exactly emulated ...
