A new study describes a gene therapy strategy that uses the brain's own glymphatic transport system to distribute engineered viral vectors throughout the brain. The approach addresses two major challenges in neurological ...

Energy storage is becoming critical to grid resilience and electricity affordability because battery systems can help balance supply and demand and stabilize power.

Medical error is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and one organization believes those deaths can be stopped.

Quantum states can be precisely controlled with the help of tiny carbon rings measuring only a few nanometers in size. This is made possible by a class of rarely used electromagnetic dipoles called toroidal moments. Using ...

The meningococcal B vaccine is ineffective in gonorrhea prevention among men who have sex with men (MSM) at high risk of infection, according to findings from the world's largest randomized controlled trial (RCT) into possible ...

Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed the first magnetic multipole-based micromagnetic model for antiferromagnets. Published in Applied Physics ...

Permafrost usually hits the news as a hazard, a planetary risk. When this ice-rich ground thaws, it damages roads and building foundations. It drains lakes and tips trees into drunken forests. It releases greenhouse gases ...

Carbon sequestration, climate regulation, biodiversity support and shoreline protection: These are all benefits provided by tidal wetlands. As the climate changes, the amount of carbon captured by these vital ecosystems may ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common form of neurodegenerative disease and afflicts more than 10 million people worldwide. While current therapies address disease symptoms, they do not prevent the underlying ...
