Medical Xpress / Missing cancer gene explains why some lung tumors respond well to immunotherapy
For some patients with the most common type of lung cancer, known as lung adenocarcinoma, there's new hope. In a new study published in Cell Reports, Mayo Clinic researchers have found several previously unknown genetic and ...
Phys.org / Covalent organic frameworks grown through coupling reactions unlock new class of semiconducting magnets
Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a methodology to enable coupling reactions for the growth of crystalline porous covalent organic frameworks, unlocking a new class of semiconducting magnets. ...
Phys.org / The DEVILS in the details: How the cosmic landscape impacts the galaxy lifecycle
A team of astronomers from the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) has released new data from an extensive galaxy evolution survey that found a galaxy's "neighborhood" plays a major role in how it changes ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists identify five structural eras of the human brain over a lifetime
Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while we grow, mature, and ...
Medical Xpress / Cognitive decline common after treatment for slow-growing brain tumors, study finds
Slow-growing brain tumors, known as IDH mutated gliomas, have a relatively good prognosis. Treatment may include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, a recent study, published in the journal Neuro-Oncology, shows ...
Phys.org / Record-setting charge mobility in germanium-silicon material points to energy-saving quantum chips
Most modern semiconductors are fabricated of or on silicon (Si), but as devices get smaller and denser, they dissipate more power and, as a result, are reaching their physical limits. Germanium (Ge)—once used in the first ...
Phys.org / Research calls for 'sportswashing' rethink amid FIFA Peace Prize rumors
As global attention turns to rumors that FIFA may award a new "Peace Prize" to US President Donald Trump later next month, new research has argued that public debates about politics and sport need far more nuance than the ...
Phys.org / Bilingual brains switch modes as Czech speakers process English like natives, even when it means making 'native' mistake
A new study shows that while Czech speakers are immune to specific grammar illusions in their mother tongue, they unconsciously adopt the "glitchy" processing patterns of native speakers when reading in English.
Phys.org / Ocean's upper 1,000 meters undergoing unprecedented, deep-reaching compound change
Earth's ocean, the planet's life-support system, is experiencing rapid and widespread transformations that extend far below its surface. A promising international study published in Nature Climate Change reveals that vast ...
Phys.org / Mapping our deep-rooted relationship with medicinal plants
Long before modern pharmaceuticals, our ancestors turned to plants to find cures for ailments from infections to parasites to fevers. A new study by Harvard researchers reveals the deep roots of that relationship: Several ...
Tech Xplore / More efficient aircraft engines: Scientists reveal optimization potential
With its "Flightpath 2050" strategy, the European Commission has outlined a framework for the aviation industry that aims to reduce emissions as well as fuel and energy consumption. Among other things, this requires more ...
Phys.org / Researchers identify key molecular mechanism in cell communication
A new study describes a key molecular mechanism that explains how cells exchange information through extracellular vesicles (EVs), small particles with great therapeutic potential. The results, published in the Journal of ...
