The scientists found that excess activity of this gene —EYA1 — also enhances development of breast cancer stem cells that promote resistance to cancer therapy,…
But indium is also rare and expensive, and it requires a costly deposition process to make opto-electronic devices and makes for a brittle electrode. Replacing…

The system has the potential to detect methane leaks from long-distance underground gas pipelines and gas fields, including coal seam gas extraction…
The technique, called Through-Focus Scanning Optical Microscopy (TSOM), has now been shown able to detect tiny differences in the three-dimensional shapes of…
A team of scientists at USC has verified that quantum effects are indeed at play in the first commercial quantum optimization processor.The team demonstrated…
Synthetic biology researchers at Northwestern University, working with partners at Harvard Medical School, have for the first time synthesized ribosomes –…
This work could be helpful for the rapid and on-site detection of illegal cooking oil. Their work, entitled “Rapid colorimetric detection of illegal cooking…
Most of our physiological functions fluctuate throughout the day. They are coordinated by a central clock in the brain and by local oscillators, present in…
In this month's special issue of Physics World devoted to the “physics of cancer”, Paul Davies, principal investigator at Arizona State University's Center for…
“This finding gives us insights into immune regulation that could be very helpful in a range of medical applications, from viral vaccines to treatments for…
Researchers at EPFL have built a matchbox-sized device that can test for the presence of bacteria in a couple of minutes, instead of up to several weeks. A…
To explain the impossible, the researchers propose that a quantum mechanical phenomenon, known as 'quantum tunnelling', is revving up the chemical reaction….
The study, published in the journal Nature, demonstrates that two genetically-defined groups of nerve cells are in control of limb alternation at different…
Think carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas most responsible for far-reaching effects on global climate. Nitrogen is another ubiquitous small-molecule gas that…
