The advance makes it easier to detect circulating tumor DNA in blood samples, which could enable earlier cancer diagnosis and help guide treatment. Tumors constantly shed DNA from dying cells, which briefly […]
New insights into how proton-coupled electron transfers occur at an electrode could help researchers design more efficient fuel cells and electrolyzers. A key chemical reaction — in which the movement of protons […]
Researchers from the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit and Oxford University’s Department of Computer Science have set out a new principle to explain how the brain adjusts connections between neurons during learning. This new insight may […]
Agroup of scientists, including several at Harvard, have dived deeper into the mammalian brain than ever before by categorizing and mapping at the molecular level all of its thousands of different cell […]
Researchers develop novel approach to understand both human and environmental impacts on coral reef health across the Hawaiian Islands. Many of Hawaii’s once-thriving coral reefs are now struggling to recover from recent […]
A plastic-free ocean, 100 carbon neutral cities by 2030 and cutting dementia by 50% are highlighted as examples of missions that could drive innovation and economic growth in a report for the […]
Web-based learning tools can help deepen science knowledge among all middle school students, and ease the science literacy gap for underachieving students, according to a three-year study published today in the International Journal […]
Ice accumulation on aircraft wings is a common contributing factor to airplane accidents. Most existing models focus on either ice that freezes as a thin film on the airfoil, or immediately after […]
NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) has begun extra stargazing to help the space agency accomplish advances in Mars exploration over the next decade. The spacecraft already has worked more than double its […]
Europeans are more likely to accept asylum-seekers who have higher employability, consistent testimonies, are particularly vulnerable and Christian. But despite being highly sensitive to those fleeing persecution, new research reveals a prominent […]
Scientists at UCL have made a groundbreaking discovery in understanding how the genetic complexity of tumours can be recognised and exploited by the immune system, even when the disease is at its […]
How do you solve large-scale global issues like climate change and geopolitical conflict? The combination of human and computer intelligence might be just what’s needed to find solutions to the “wicked” problems […]
Biodegradable drinking cups or vegetable wrapping foil: the bioplastic known as polylactic acid (PLA) is already a part of our everyday lives. And yet, PLA is not yet considered a full alternative […]
