Led by Lei Li, assistant professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, and graduate student, Mojtaba Falahati, the researchers developed a…
Dead cells disrupt immune responses and undermine defence against infection, new research has found.
Through use of fossil fuels and deforestation, humans cause a steady increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. Oceans are regarded as CO2 reservoirs,…
A cancer therapy without side-effects, that specifically attacks only tumor cells: still a dream for doctors and patients alike. But nature has long since…
The Earth is unique in our solar system: It is the only terrestrial planet with a large amount of water and a relatively large moon, which stabilizes the…
For the first time it is possible to measure, simultaneously and with extreme precision, four rare molecular variants of carbon dioxide (CO2) using a novel…
“TYGS is an automated high-throughput platform for state-of-the-art genome-based taxonomy”, is the title of the paper published in the current issue of the…
Researchers from the University of Tübingen and their colleagues from Switzerland have studied hundreds of fossil carp teeth for the first time using 3D…
A University of California, Riverside, research team has come up with a new approach to targeting cancer cells that circumvents a challenge faced by currently…
Gastric cancer, Q fever, Legionnaires' disease, whooping cough–though the infectious bacteria that cause these dangerous diseases are each different, they all…
The sun and most stars are giant balls of plasma that undergo constant fusion reactions. Here on Earth, scientists must heat and control the plasma to cause…
The first experimental robot drone that flies like a typical quadcopter, drives on tough terrain and squeezes into tight spaces using the same motors, has been…
The basic raw material for cement is limestone, which is converted to cement clinker in large furnaces. The environmental impact of this process is disastrous:…
A beehive is a complex ecosystem – not every bee can be considered separately, but the accumulation of all bees can be seen as a unique and huge superorganism…
5G transmission masts have to be distributed throughout the entire area in order to ensure reliable data transmission. In order not to adversely affect the…
Young stars are surrounded by disks of gas. Some of the gas condenses into dust grains which then stick together to form larger objects, building up to form…
