Early detection of soft-tissue diseases, such as breast cancer, typically requires invasive biopsies. Now, a new self-assembled nanoparticle developed by Bin…
The unique magnetic properties of cobalt phosphide nanowires stand them in good stead as future components of high-performance devices. Unlike bulk materials,…
The differences, or mutations, in question create minor changes in amino acids — the building blocks of DNA — from person to person. Zebrafish can be used as…
Spanning a little over one million light-years, the galaxy is about ten times the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy. The bloated galaxy is a member of an…
“We found that people's satisfaction with life was directly impacted by their daily physical activity,” said Jaclyn Maher, graduate student in kinesiology. “The findings reinforce the idea that physical activity is a health behavior with important consequences for daily well-being and should be considered when developing national policies to enhance satisfaction with life.”…
Robots have the potential to help older adults with daily activities that can become more challenging with age. But are people willing to use and accept the…
A large international study has identified three new gene variants associated with body mass index (BMI) levels in adults. The scientific consortium, numbering…

Assassin bugs, so named because these insects lie in ambush for prey that they attack with speed and precision, are found all over the world.Nearly 140 species…
“We know that COPD is a risk factor for ischemic stroke, and that certain components of carotid artery plaques such as intraplaque hemorrhage and lipid core…
And around a million more have the disease but are not aware of that fact, and have not been given the tools they need to control their blood sugar and…
This constrain arises from an effect called diffraction, inherent to all conventional lenses, and represents an obstacle for the development of nanotechnology…
