Researchers advance stem cell therapy with biodegradable scaffold
Rutgers scientists have created a tiny, biodegradable scaffold to transplant stem cells and deliver drugs, which may help treat Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, aging...
Can chocolate, tea, coffee and zinc help make you more healthy?
Ageing and a low life expectancy are caused, at least partly, by oxidative stress. A team of researchers led by Prof. Dr. Ivana Ivanovi-Burmazovi...
How the brain decides what to learn
In order to learn about the world, an animal needs to do more than just pay attention to its surroundings. It also needs to...
Dinosaurs put all colored birds’ eggs in one basket, evolutionarily speaking
A new study says the colors found in modern birds' eggs did not evolve independently, as previously thought, but evolved instead from dinosaurs.
According to...
Unique immunity genes in one widespread coral species
A new study led by researchers at the University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science found that a common coral...
Physicists explain how large spherical viruses form
A virus, the simplest physical object in biology, consists of a protein shell called the capsid, which protects its nucleic acid genome—RNA or DNA....
Seed banking not an option for over a third of threatened...
In paper published today in Nature Plants, researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, detail for the first time the scale of threatened species...
New quantum criticality discovered in superconductivity
Using solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) techniques, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory discovered a new quantum criticality in a...
Physicists upgrade cheap diode laser for use in precise measurements
Russian physicists have developed a method for drastically narrowing the emission spectrum of an ordinary diode laser, like that in a laser pointer. This...
New method could lead to more powerful quantum sensors
As quantum technology continues to come into its own, investment is happening on a global scale. Soon, we could see improvements in machine learning...
Quantum on the edge: Light shines on new pathway for quantum...
Scientists in Australia have for the first time demonstrated the protection of correlated states between paired photons—packets of light energy—using the intriguing physical concept...
