Experimental condensed matter physicists in the Department of Physics at the University of Oklahoma have developed an approach to circumvent a major loss process that currently limits the efficiency of commercial solar c...

An ultra-precise microscope that surpasses the limitations of Nobel Prize-winning super-resolution microscopy will let scientists directly measure distances between individual molecules.

The insides of living cells can be seen in their natural state in greater detail than ever before using a new technique developed by researchers in Japan. This advance should help reveal the complex and fragile biologica...

Your phone's GPS, the Wi-Fi in your house and communications on aircraft are all powered by radio-frequency, or RF, waves, which carry information from a transmitter at one point to a sensor at another. The sensors inter...

When people say quantum computing is "hot" right now they are most definitely talking metaphorically; today's leading devices have to operate at close to absolute zero. Now two research groups have demonstrated technolog...

Drug resistance is a major obstacle in cancer treatment -- leading to relapse for many patients. In a new study, researchers report on a promising new strategy to overcome drug resistance in leukemia, using targeted dose...

Cannabis use makes young brains more sensitive to the first exposure to cocaine, according to a new study on rodents. By monitoring the brains of both adolescent and adult rats after giving them synthetic psychoactive ca...

Despite significant obstacles presented by COVID-19, Regenstrief Institute Affiliated Scientist Jie Zhang, PhD, Regenstrief Institute Research Scientist Kun Huang, PhD, both Indiana University School of Medicine faculty ...

Researchers have used CRISPR technology to identify key regulators of aggressive chronic myeloid leukemia.

A team of scientists has identified the binding site where drug compounds could activate a key braking mechanism against the runaway growth of many types of cancer. The discovery marks a critical step toward developing a...

Antimicrobial resistance is responsible for some 700,000 deaths each year worldwide. In relation to this phenomenon, researchers have raised the alarm regarding the development of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in aqua...

Patients with type 2 diabetes secrete not only too little insulin but also too much glucagon, which contributes to poor blood glucose control.

The insides of living cells can be seen in their natural state in greater detail than ever before using a new technique. This advance should help reveal the complex and fragile biological interactions of medical mysterie...

The efficient allocation of medical resources can be modelled mathematically. The study, which started a few years before coronavirus appeared, offers timely insights for governments and organizations who are faced with ...

Hypertensive pregnancy disorders, especially preeclampsia -- may increase the risk of psychological development disorders and behavioral and emotional disorders in children. This is the first study to show that preeclamp...

The alleged exoplanet Fomalhaut b was discovered in 2004 and disappeared in 2014. Astronomers now say it was never a planet to begin with.

Increasing the activity of interneurons in later 5 of the primary motor cortex in mouse models of ALS effectively slowed the onset of the disease.

Studying auditory regions and brain pathways in humans, apes, and monkeys, researchers have identified a language pathway that interconnects the auditory cortex with frontal lobe regions. The language pathway in other pr...

Macaque monkeys infected with mild-to-moderate coronavirus responded well to the antiviral Remdesivir. Researchers report the monkeys showed reduced clinical symptoms and less lung damage when the drug was administered. ...

The temperament of your infant could determine their personality and social behaviors almost three decades later, a new study reports. Infants with higher levels of behavioral inhibition at 14 months grew up to be more r...

Cannabis use during youth enhances sensitivity to cocaine from the first exposure, a new rat study finds.

A new study seeks to explain why men infected by coronavirus generally show more severe symptoms and have an increased risk of death over women. Focusing on ACE2 receptors, researchers found the testes, along with the lu...
