Medical Xpress / New 'fishhook' bonds help T cells stick longer to prostate cancer cells
UCLA and Stanford Medicine researchers, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Utah and Columbia University, have engineered a new class of supercharged T cells that are stronger, longer-lasting, and more ...
Phys.org / Extremely rare second-generation star discovered inside ancient relic dwarf galaxy
Discovered in the Pictor II dwarf galaxy, star PicII-503 has an extreme deficiency in iron—less than 1/40,000th of the sun. This signature makes it the clearest example of a star within a primordial system that preserves ...
Tech Xplore / Lead-free thin films turn everyday vibrations into electricity
Powerful electronics don't have to come at an environmental cost. Scientists at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed high-performance, lead-free piezoelectric thin films directly on standard silicon wafers. Their ...
Phys.org / Solar energy transforms polystyrene waste into valuable chemicals using sulfur
Turning waste into wealth may no longer be just a marketing slogan, as a team of researchers in China has found an eco-friendly way to do exactly that. The abundant sunlight our planet receives was put to use for transforming ...
Phys.org / How an RNA-binding protein detects and responds to non-optimal codon usage in human cells
Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or codons—specify one of many amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Multiple codons can encode ...
Medical Xpress / Trends in youth mental health from 1990 to 2021 reveal a pandemic-era surge
Adolescence, the stage of development between childhood and adulthood, is characterized by many profound physical, mental, and emotional changes. During this critical stage, young people can experience various difficulties ...
Phys.org / Risk of groundwater contamination is still poorly monitored in the São Paulo Metropolitan Area, researchers warn
The São Paulo Metropolitan Area (SPMA) in Brazil has approximately 22 million inhabitants and consumes an average of 61.6 cubic meters (61,600 liters) of water per second. Although nearly the entire public water supply originates ...
Medical Xpress / Neural map reveals how adult brain cells remember their origins
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have created the first detailed map showing how genetic activity is controlled in individual cells of the adult human brain and spinal cord. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, ...
Phys.org / Discrete time crystal acts as a usable sensor for weak magnetic oscillations
The bizarre properties of discrete time crystals could be harnessed to detect extremely subtle oscillations of magnetic fields, physicists in the US and Germany have revealed. Publishing their results in Nature Physics, a ...
Phys.org / Ancient brines helped build Idaho's Silver Valley and Cobalt belt
Idaho's Silver Valley has produced about 1.2 billion ounces of silver since the late 1800s, enough to cast a solid cube roughly as tall as a five-story building, along with huge amounts of lead and zinc. Now a new study led ...
Phys.org / Smile mission set for April 9 launch to image Earth's magnetic field in X-rays
The Smile mission is set to launch on a Vega-C rocket from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana on Thursday, April 9, at 08:29 CEST/07:29 BST/03:29 local time.
Medical Xpress / Higher blood pressure during young adulthood linked to heart and kidney disease after age 40
Higher blood pressure during young adulthood is likely linked to a higher risk of heart disease and kidney disease later in life, reinforcing the importance of maintaining healthy blood pressure at younger ages, according ...
