Tumors backfire on chemotherapy
Some patients with breast cancer receive chemotherapy before the tumor is removed with surgery. This approach, called neoadjuvant therapy, helps to reduce the size...
Engineers create delicate sensor to monitor heart cells with minimal disruption
For the first time, engineers have demonstrated an electronic device to monitor beating heart cells without affecting their behavior. A collaboration between the University...
Natural-based antibiofilm and antimicrobial peptides from microorganisms
New developments in antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with antibiofilm properties are rapidly materializing. ABP works by inhibiting antibiotic resistant bacteria in the biofilm through nucleotide...
How does the brain learn by talking to itself?
Humans, like other animals, possess an enormous learning capacity that allows for the apprehension of new sensory information to master new skills or to...
Feisty hummingbirds prioritize fencing over feeding
Most hummingbirds have bills and tongues exquisitely designed to slip inside a flower, lap up nectar and squeeze every last drop of precious sugar...
Russian researchers explore the prospects for creating photonic integrated circuits
The transition from electronic integrated circuits to faster, more energy-efficient and interference-free optical circuits is one of the most important goals in the development...
Early protostar already has a warped disk
Using observations from the ALMA radio observatory in Chile, researchers have observed, for the first time, a warped disk around an infant protostar that...
Quantum chemistry on quantum computers
Quantum computing and quantum information processing technology have attracted attention in recently emerging fields. Among many important and fundamental issues in science, solving the...
Machine learning speeds up atomistic simulations of water and ice
Why is water densest at around 4 degrees Celsius? Why does ice float? Why does heavy water have a different melting point compared to...
Bacteria found in ancient Irish soil halts growth of superbugs: New...
Researchers analysing soil from Ireland long thought to have medicinal properties have discovered that it contains a previously unknown strain of bacteria which is...
These nine measures reveal how forests are controlled by climate
Instead of blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate, the vital signs for a forest are captured in key traits such as the amount of...
