Science X Dialog
Science X Dialog is where researchers can share news and information about their own published journal articles.
How to apply
Dialog / New research identifies key strategies for global drug safety studies
A new study published in Therapeutic Innovation & Regulatory Science provides crucial insights into the design and implementation of multi-national observational studies for post-marketing drug safety assessment, addressing ...
Dialog / Off-the-shelf kitchen chemistry could make Li–S batteries thinner
Demand is booming for batteries that are faster, thinner and cheaper. We want electric cars and bikes that travel further, devices that last longer, charge quicker and cost less. Today, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) set the ...
Dialog / A new form of graphene-derived material could unlock next-generation printed electronics
Graphene has long been hailed as a "wonder material." It is incredibly strong, highly conductive and almost impossibly thin—just one atom thick. These properties make it a promising candidate for next-generation technologies ...
Dialog / Scientists report new immune insights and targets into LRRK2 mutations in Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a debilitating and progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra, a brain region essential for motor control. Clinically, it is ...
Dialog / A semicrystalline catalyst balances activity and stability for electrolytic hydrogen production
The production of clean hydrogen through water electrolysis is a promising route toward emission-free and sustainable energy technologies. However, its efficiency is still constrained by the kinetically sluggish oxygen evolution ...
Dialog / Two technologies, one disease: Connecting DBS and focused ultrasound for Parkinson's disease management
Parkinson's disease is no longer viewed as a faraway neurological ailment buried in textbooks. More than 10 million people are already affected worldwide, and the number is continually climbing. Men are somewhat more impacted ...
Dialog / Infrastructure design is the hidden architecture of disaster risk
When we talk about disasters, we often default to the language of nature. We describe storms as "unprecedented," floods as "once-in-a-century," and heat waves as "record-breaking." While these descriptors may be technically ...
Dialog / Making sense of quantum gravity in five dimensions
Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works extremely well in its own domain: Quantum theory explains how atoms and particles behave, while general ...
Dialog / How pregnancy and breastfeeding enhance local immunity that reduces breast cancer risk
For centuries, physicians observed that nuns, who are celibate, had much higher rates of breast cancer, leading to the theory that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding might be associated with lower breast cancer risk. ...
Dialog / How sustainability is driving innovation in functionalized graphene materials
Graphene is often described as a wonder material. It is strong, electrically conductive, thermally efficient, and remarkably versatile. Yet despite more than a decade of excitement, many graphene-based technologies still ...
Dialog / Cosmic rays from a nearby supernova may help explain Earth-like planets
How common are Earth-like planets in the universe? When I started working on supernova explosions, I never imagined that my research would eventually lead me to ask a question about the origin of Earth-like planets. Yet that ...
Dialog / Hidden threats in the dark: Alarming levels of human-made debris in Mediterranean sea caves
Just when we thought we had described all the possible marine environmental recipients of plastic pollution, new research comes in to overturn the picture.
