Medical Xpress / From immune evasion to activation: A new cancer vaccine strategy
A research team led by Professor Chen Peng from the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at Peking University has developed a novel cancer immunotherapy strategy that forces tumors to expose themselves to the immune ...
Phys.org / Signs of ancient life turn up in an unexpected place
Dr. Rowan Martindale, a paleoecologist and geobiologist at the University of Texas at Austin, was walking through the Dadès Valley in the Central High Atlas Mountains of Morocco when she saw something that literally stopped ...
Medical Xpress / AI model identifies how every country can improve its cancer outcomes
For the first time, researchers have used machine learning—a type of artificial intelligence (AI)—to identify the most important drivers of cancer survival in nearly all the countries in the world.
Phys.org / Scientists demonstrate low-cost, high-quality lenses for super-resolution microscopy
Researchers have shown that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can be used to produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging, with each lens costing less than $1 to produce. The ...
Medical Xpress / Getting a grip on aging: Study pinpoints brain region tied to frailty
A new study suggests that a little-known region deep in the brain could be crucial for preserving physical strength as we age. The findings could help detect and prevent frailty before it begins.
Phys.org / Uncovering a hidden mechanism in Met receptor activation
Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, in collaboration with Osaka University and the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, have uncovered a previously unknown ...
Phys.org / Meta-analysis challenges the link between economic inequality and mental health
Does living in an unequal society make people unhappy? Not necessarily, reveals the largest study ever conducted on the subject. Nicolas Sommet, a social psychologist and research manager at the LIVES Centre at the University ...
Phys.org / Magnetic fields slow carbon migration in iron by altering energy barriers, study shows
Professor Dallas Trinkle and colleagues have provided the first quantitative explanation for how magnetic fields slow carbon atom movement through iron, a phenomenon first observed in the 1970s but never fully understood. ...
Phys.org / Nature-based solutions? When more parks don't mean less heat risk
Cities around the world are planting more trees and creating new parks to combat rising temperatures. But a decade-long study of Northern Taiwan's cities reveals a troubling paradox: more green space doesn't always mean less ...
Phys.org / Birding enthusiasts can help songbirds avoid Salmonella epidemics
UCLA biologists are developing a tool to predict when deadly Salmonella outbreaks are likely to happen in wild songbird populations so that people can protect their feathered friends by taking down bird feeders at the right ...
Phys.org / First standalone spin-wave chip operates without external magnets for future telecom
The Politecnico di Milano has created the first integrated and fully tunable device based on spin waves, opening up new possibilities for the telecommunications of the future, far beyond current 5G and 6G standards. The study, ...
Phys.org / Deformable lens enables real-time correction of image aberrations in single-pixel microscopy
Researchers from the Optics Group at the Universitat Jaume I in Castellón have managed to correct in real time problems related to image aberrations in single-pixel microscopy using a recent technology: programmable deformable ...
