Medical Xpress / Can aging be treated at the cellular level?
For some, January is a time for resolutions, with the goal often tied to being fitter and healthier. And increasingly this has included a fixation on addressing aging at the cellular level, driven in part by the rise of "biohacking."
Medical Xpress / The biological benefits of failure on learning and tools to manage the fallout
Albert Einstein once said, "Failure is success in progress." Indeed, while failure can be frustrating, painful, even demotivating, research shows it can be an effective tool for learning.
Phys.org / Vibrational spectroscopy technique enables nanoscale mapping of molecular orientation at surfaces
Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at surfaces and interfaces, but its spatial resolution has been limited to the micrometer scale by the ...
