Science X Dialog

I have spent much of my professional life thinking about buildings—how they are designed, how they are constructed and how they shape daily life. But some structures matter far more than we usually admit. In places affected ...

Water is everywhere, from the snowpack in the mountains to the tap in our kitchens. But while we often think about rainfall and snow as the main drivers of our water supply, it turns out that something we rarely see has just ...

Graphene has drawn attention as a scientific curiosity owing to its record conductivities, strength and thermal properties. But now, it's starting to make its way into a number of real-world applications, from batteries to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...
