Science X Dialog is where researchers can share news and information about their own published journal articles.
How to apply
Dialog / Neuroscientists report a distinct role of touch receptors in treating chronic pain
People often experience the phenomenon of injuring a hand and feeling relief from vigorously shaking it. The mechanism behind this effect is fairly well explained by the "gate control theory" of Melzack and Wall, but it is ...
Dialog / Scientists develop nanosilver-impregnated silk suture against surgical site infection
In recent years, the adherence of microorganisms to surfaces or coatings has created major health risks to humans. Among these, microbial attachment and growth on surgical suture lines accounts for more than 20% of health-related ...
Dialog / From tape measures to space lasers: Quantifying biomass of the world's tallest forests
In this era of accelerating climate crisis, accounting for all aspects of Earth's carbon cycle is a crucial task. The magnitude of atmospheric carbon burden means trees and forests are limited but important instruments among ...
Dialog / Brainstem neuronal shutdown as a potential cause of sudden death in at-risk infants
Sudden unexpected death in children, which includes sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), is a devastating but poorly understood global health problem. The cause of SIDS was long considered a mystery, and although this mystery ...
Dialog / Propagating dimensions of light: Deforming versatile non-diffractive beams along the optical trajectory
The diffraction of light is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature where waves spread out as they propagate. This spreading of light beams during propagation limits the efficient transmission of energy and information. Therefore, ...
Dialog / Navigating the maze of cancer: How precision medicine unravels the unknown
In our journey to unravel the obscurities of high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs), we've embarked on a quest guided by personalized medicine principles. Imagine you're faced with a challenging ...
Dialog / Driving photochemistry with sub-molecular precision
Absorption of light initiates many natural and artificial chemical processes, for example, photosynthesis in plants, human vision, or even 3D printing. Until now, it seemed impossible to control a light-driven chemical reaction ...
Dialog / Scalable photoelectrochemical system for solar hydrogen possible, if made from efficient all-perovskite materials
Our recent article published in Nature Energy relates our first attempt at the development of a scalable photoelectrochemical (PEC) system to produce green hydrogen.
Dialog / Protected lands provide a last stand for critically endangered vultures in West Africa
Among the fastest-declining birds in the world, African vultures battle many of the problems commonly plaguing wildlife today, such as habitat loss, hunting, and poisoning, but they also face a more unique set of obstacles.
Dialog / Intravesical gemcitabine/docetaxel as an alternative therapy for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Bladder cancer is one of the more common cancers worldwide. It is considered a major health care problem with a high financial burden. Of these cases, 75% are non-muscle-invasive, which characterizes dangerous diseases with ...
Dialog / Emerging role of lipids in metabolic disorders and lipid alterations in fatty liver disease
The importance of lipids as one of the fundamental biological compounds is well established as they are important signaling molecules and key components of metabolic disorders. The imbalance in lipid homeostasis and the dysregulation ...
Dialog / Active galaxies as standard candles: Is dust the culprit behind discrepancies?
When did the universe start? When and how did the first stars and galaxies form? What is the fate of the universe?
