Phys.org / Graphene 'nano-aquariums' capture atomic-resolution videos of gold atoms in solvents
A team led by scientists at the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester has developed the first technique capable of capturing atomic‑resolution videos of individual gold atoms 'dancing' across a ...
Phys.org / Tiny frogs prefer concrete apartments over wooden shelters
James Cook University researchers have tested frog housing and nursery preferences in the Wet Tropics rainforest of North Queensland, with frogs finding the thermal regulation of concrete shelters to be the perfect tropical ...
Medical Xpress / Proof of visual perception's fundamental mechanisms: 1981 Nobel Prize-winning model confirmed correct
A scientific dispute spanning six decades about fundamental mechanisms of visual perception in mammals has now been settled. Researchers at TUM have succeeded in observing the visual information flow from neuron to neuron. ...
Phys.org / Virus-inspired DNA needle could pave the way for better medicines
Researchers at Aarhus University have developed a microscopic DNA needle that can deliver molecules directly into cells—and, crucially, help make sure they remain active once they get there. That addresses a major problem ...
Phys.org / New catalyst enables targeted antibiotic redesign to beat resistant bacteria
Antibiotics, our infantry against bacteria, are losing their ability to fight against bacterial infections due to the rise of superbugs—microbes that have developed resistance to medications that are designed to kill them. ...
Medical Xpress / Reprogramming 'gatekeeper' immune cell may boost cancer immunotherapy
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer—and how restoring their energy production can ...
Phys.org / A universal scheme can verify any quantum state
Quantum technologies, devices that can process, store, or detect information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical devices in some tasks or scenarios. Despite their potential, verifying that these ...
Phys.org / Protostars 'sneeze' and produce rings of gas and magnetic flux as they grow
Researchers have uncovered new insights into the early development of baby stars. As published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, a research team from Kyushu University and Kagawa University reports that during the early ...
Medical Xpress / Most Americans don't realize brain donation is needed to study autism
Americans are overwhelmingly supportive of autism research, but a new survey has uncovered a lack of awareness that could be slowing scientific progress.
Medical Xpress / Uncontrolled scarring: Study reveals the cell sensor that turns healing into harm
Fibrosis is the body's way of patching up damage—a bit like fixing a pothole. When skin is cut or a muscle is injured, fibroblast cells rush in to make fibronectin and collagen, which are two major extracellular matrix proteins ...
Phys.org / Software package makes gene regulation easier to study—and tweak
Understanding how genes are switched on and off in specific cell types remains one of biology's central challenges. While AI has made major progress in decoding the regulatory logic of DNA, applying these approaches across ...
Phys.org / NASA's Artemis II mission launches on first crewed lunar flyby in 50 years
Four astronauts blasted off aboard a massive NASA rocket Wednesday on a long-anticipated journey around the moon, the first crewed lunar flyby in more than 50 years.
