A pH-sensitive drug delivery system in T cells using C-terminal dendrimers with Phenylalanine. T cells, also known as lymphocytes, have important roles in various immune reactions. However, there are only…
Optimized approach simplifies underwater optical data links; could enable devices that transmit data and produce power. Although solar cells are typically designed to turn light into power, researchers have shown…
… compatible with patient biopsies to fight metastasis. METPlatform allows researchers to investigate patients’ own tumour tissue. It is simple, fast, cheap, and “infinitely superior to other screening methods”. They…
Official kick-off meeting will take place on February 17th and 18th: The second research mission of the German Marine Research Alliance (DAM), “sustainMare” (“Protection and Sustainable Utilization of Marine Environments”)…
The MATISSE instrument at the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer has observed a cloud of cosmic dust at the centre of the galaxy NGC 1068 (also known as…
Researchers of the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung publish their latest findings in the journal Nature. Due to its low density, high strength, and abundance, aluminium and its alloys are widely used…
Curtin study. New Curtin University-led research has uncovered what may be the oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars, revealing the planet may have been habitable at…
An inaugural measurement of the neutron will help physicists learn about nucleon structure and spin. Protons and neutrons–known collectively as nucleons–are the building blocks of matter, but one of these…
A massive collision of galaxies sparked by one travelling at a scarcely-believable 2 million mph (3.2 million km/h) has been seen in unprecedented detail by one of Earth’s most powerful…
Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes’ gaze. The…
…uncover key mechanisms related to cognitive function. Discovery suggests broad implications for giving brain a boost. While it’s well known that sleep enhances cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, particularly…
Protein design aims to create customized antibodies for therapies, biosensors for diagnostics, or enzymes for chemical reactions. An international research team has now developed a method for designing large new…
A large number of 2D materials like graphene can have nanopores – small holes formed by missing atoms through which foreign substances can pass. The properties of these nanopores dictate many…
KIT researchers produce metamaterial with different extension and compression properties than conventional materials. With this material, the working group headed by Professor Martin Wegener at KIT’s Institute of Applied Physics…
Most people think of coffee cups, bathroom tiles or flower pots when they hear the word “ceramic”. Not so Frank Clemens. For the research group leader in Empa’s Laboratory for…
New deep learning architecture enables higher efficiency. It is the computational processing of images that reveals the finest details of a sample placed under all kinds of different light microscopes….
Humans and animals move with remarkable economy without consciously thinking about it by utilizing the natural oscillation patterns of their bodies. A new tool developed by researchers at the Technical…
AI-enhanced metalenses achieve high-resolution, full-color imaging for compact optical systems. Modern imaging systems, such as those used in smartphones, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) devices, are constantly evolving…
