Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) discovered that…
More than half of Earth's rivers freeze over every year. These frozen rivers support important transportation networks for communities and industries located…
The study used measurements on fossil coral skeletons to reveal that significant changes in deep-water circulation occurred in the Drake Passage, a narrow…
Sustainability scientists have developed systematic and comprehensive assessment methods and performed the first assessment of a country's progress in…
In recent years, immunotherapies against cancer have raised great hopes. These novel therapies recruit the body’s immune system to destroy cancerous tissue.
Imagine a world where people could only talk to their next-door neighbor, and messages must be passed house to house to reach far destinations.
In experiments with genetically engineered mice, a research team has ruled out a mechanism that scientists have long believed controls the number of hairlike…
The North Atlantic Current transports warm water from the Gulf of Mexico towards Europe, providing much of north-western Europe with a relatively mild climate….
Proton therapy leads to significantly lower risk of side effects severe enough to lead to unplanned hospitalizations for cancer patients when compared with…
Around 80% of colorectal cancers are associated with mutations in a gene called APC that result in elevated levels of the βcatenin protein. This increase in…
Each living cell grows and divides, thus generating new offspring. This process is also known as the cell cycle. Strictly speaking, it describes a periodic…
Spintronics or spin electronics in contrast to conventional electronics uses the spin of electrons for sensing, information storage, transport, and processing….
Spintronics is a modern technological field where the “spin” or the angular momentum of electrons takes a primary role in the functioning of electronic…
In hematopoiesis, a process essential for growth and life maintenance for mammals, HSCs give rise to other blood cells for the organism's entire life….
Since the experimental production of graphene, two-dimensional materials have been at the heart of materials research. Similar to carbon, a single layer of…
