Medical Xpress / Ultrasensitive liquid biopsy affective in predicting and monitoring immunotherapy response, study shows
Published today in Clinical Cancer Research, findings from a study led by investigators at the Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO), which forms part of the Vall d'Hebron Campus, underscore the efficacy of analyzing ...
Phys.org / An 'origami' airless wheel to explore lunar caves
A joint research team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Unmanned Exploration Laboratory (UEL) has developed a transformative wheel capable of navigating the moon's most extreme terrains, ...
Phys.org / Subtle twist in materials prompts surprising electromagnetic behavior
Materials react differently to electric and magnetic fields, and these reactions are known as electromagnetic responses. In many solid materials, unusual electromagnetic responses have been known to only emerge when specific ...
Phys.org / Genetic teamwork may be the secret to climate-resilient plants
A plant's success may depend on how well the three sets of genetic instructions it carries in its cells cooperate, according to a new study led by plant scientists at Penn State. In an analysis of the hybrids of two crossbred ...
Phys.org / AI learns to build simple equations for complex systems
A research team at Duke University has developed a new AI framework that can uncover simple, understandable rules that govern some of the most complex dynamics found in nature and technology.
Phys.org / A 'scientific sandbox' lets researchers explore the evolution of vision systems
Why did humans evolve the eyes we have today? While scientists can't go back in time to study the environmental pressures that shaped the evolution of the diverse vision systems that exist in nature, a new computational framework ...
Phys.org / Soil molecular diversity spikes as microbes decompose plants, researchers discover
Globally, soils contain three times as much carbon as exists in the atmosphere and all plants, combined. Which means that understanding how soil microbes recycle organic materials—sometimes sending CO2 back into the atmosphere, ...
Medical Xpress / Engineered dendritic cells boost cancer immunotherapy
EPFL researchers have successfully engineered cells of the immune system to more effectively recognize cancer cells. The work, covered in two papers, turns the previously lab-based method into a full-blown immunotherapy strategy.
Phys.org / Active thermal metasurfaces amplify heat signatures by a factor of nine
Light undergoes a unique phenomenon called superscattering, an optical illusion where a very small object scatters far more light than expected. This happens when multiple scattering modes overlap and interact, allowing tiny ...
Phys.org / In echo of Jurassic Park, mosquitoes capture entire ecosystems in their blood meals
Jurassic Park—and its never-ending sequels and spinoffs—starts with a basic premise: extracting the DNA of long-dead dinosaurs from mosquitoes frozen in amber.
Phys.org / Shortest light pulse ever created captures ultrafast electron dynamics
Electrons determine everything: how chemical reactions unfold, how materials conduct electricity, how biological molecules transfer energy, and how quantum technologies operate. But electron dynamics happens on attosecond ...
Medical Xpress / Illinois should recommend hepatitis B vaccines for all newborns, committee says, despite federal guidance
Illinois should continue to recommend that nearly all newborns be vaccinated against hepatitis B, a state advisory committee decided Tuesday, in a move that could represent another break with federal vaccine guidance.
