Medical Xpress / Lewy body formation in Parkinson's disease: Scientists propose a new molecular roadmap
Proteins form the building blocks of life, but when they form unusual clumps inside the brain, they raise an alarm that something isn't right.
Tech Xplore / New heat-shrinking method integrates electronic circuits on irregular shapes
Most electronics are built on flat, stiff boards, which makes it incredibly difficult to fit them onto curved and irregular shapes we find in the real world, such as human limbs or curved aircraft wings. While flexible electronics ...
Phys.org / How European city life is continually rewriting insect DNA
Cities are known to shape the evolution of wildlife within them, but according to a study of European cities published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, this is not a one-off event. Rather ...
