A quick, easy scan can reveal late-life dementia risk

Predicting the future: A long-term study has shown a common bone density scan can also show calcified plaque build-up in the abdominal aorta – revealing if someone is at increased…

Prostate cancer hijacks tumor cell biorhythm to evade hormone therapy

Therapy sensitivity in prostate cancer halted by protein regulating circadian rhythm. Hormone therapy is successful at keeping metastatic prostate cancer under control, but eventually the tumor cells become resistant to…

Ancient microbes may help us find extraterrestrial life forms

Earth of billions of years ago illuminated by light-capturing proteins. Using light-capturing proteins in living microbes, scientists have reconstructed what life was like for some of Earth’s earliest organisms. These…

Microscopy technique enables 3D super-resolution nanometre-scale imaging

Research team led by Göttingen University combine two techniques to achieve isotropic super-resolution imaging. Over the last two decades, microscopy has seen unprecedented advances in speed and resolution. However, cellular…

Quantum network nodes with warm atoms

Communication networks need nodes at which information is processed or rerouted. Physicists at the University of Basel have now developed a network node for quantum communication networks that can store…

Defects in quartz crystal structure reveal the origin of dust

University of Tübingen research team uses properties of quartz in sediments to study sedi-mentary cycles and climate dynamics. Global warming and a progressively drier climate in many parts of the…
