Phys.org / Radio observations find nothing at Omega Centauri's heart
Omega Centauri dominates the southern sky as the Milky Way's largest and brightest globular cluster, a dense sphere containing roughly 10 million stars. Earlier this year, astronomers found evidence that an intermediate mass ...
Phys.org / Ultrashort laser pulses catch a snapshot of a 'molecular handshake'
Liquids and solutions are complex environments—think, for example, of sugar dissolving in water, where each sugar molecule becomes surrounded by a restless crowd of water molecules. Inside living cells, the picture is even ...
Medical Xpress / Dramatic drop in HIV-infected immune cells occurs in patient who received cancer treatment
Advancements in HIV/AIDS research, drug development and clinical practice since the 1980s have made it possible for people living with HIV to lead long, productive lives and keep the virus in check at undetectable levels ...
Phys.org / How a new algorithm predicts cell fate from just one genetic snapshot
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH have developed a computational method that can reveal how cells change and specialize in the body. The study, which has been published in the journal PNAS, can provide important ...
Phys.org / Near-infrared light enables wireless power and data transfer for medical implants
A new study from a research team at the Center for Wireless Communications Network and Systems (CWC-NS) at the University of Oulu has introduced an approach using near-infrared (NIR) light beyond light therapy to facilitate ...
Medical Xpress / Psychological interventions may be effective for functional seizures
Psychological interventions may be effective for achieving freedom from functional seizures, according to new practice guidelines issued by the American Academy of Neurology and published online Dec. 10 in Neurology.
Phys.org / Scientists discover nine new species of butterfly from South America stored at London's Natural History Museum
An international team of scientists have identified nine new species of butterflies using a combination of geographical, morphological and molecular analysis.
Medical Xpress / Using over-the-counter antioxidant to treat progressive multiple sclerosis shows mixed results
The over‐the‐counter supplement lipoic acid may have a small beneficial effect in slowing the loss of gray matter in the brains of people with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, according to new research led by ...
Dialog / Cracking the mystery of heat flow in few-atoms thin materials
For much of my career, I have been fascinated by the ways in which materials behave when we reduce their dimensions to the nanoscale. Over and over, I've learned that when we shrink a material down to just a few nanometers ...
Medical Xpress / Clinical trial of personalized cancer vaccine demonstrates feasibility, safety, immune activation
The first-in-human clinical phase I trial assessing the feasibility and safety of WDVAX, an immunostimulatory biomaterial-based cancer vaccine, in a cohort of 21 patients with stage 4 metastatic melanoma, was concluded with ...
Phys.org / NASA announces plan to map Milky Way with Roman Space Telescope
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team has released detailed plans for a major survey that will reveal our home galaxy, the Milky Way, in unprecedented detail. In one month of observations spread across two years, ...
Phys.org / Pardons are political, with modern presidents expanding their use
President Donald Trump is making full use of his pardon power. This year, Trump has issued roughly 1,800 pardons, or nearly six times the number he issued during the four years of his first term. Granted, about 1,500 of them ...
