COVID-19 vaccine development paves way to a new class of cancer immunotherapy.

We are generally as reluctant to contact a long-lost friend as we are to talk to a stranger, but scientists have come up with an approach so it's easier to make the first move

NASA's plan to build a train track on the moon is part of the agency's Innovative Advanced Concepts program, which aims to develop "science fiction-like" projects for future space exploration.

According to research published in Physical Review Research, a research team led by Prof. Luo Xuan from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered the existence of stacking fau...

Proteins are biological workhorses. They build our bodies and orchestrate the molecular processes in cells that keep them healthy. They also present a wealth of targets for new medications. From everyday pain relievers t...

A sunspot so big it rivals the gigantic sunspot responsible for the Carrington Event in 1859 has unleashed another X-class solar flare, triggering radio blackouts on Earth.

What if your earbuds could do everything your smartphone can do already, except better? What sounds a bit like science fiction may actually not be so far off. A new class of synthetic materials could herald the next revo...

Researchers uncovered a reciprocal relationship between depression and physical activity in adults. The findings reveal that current depression symptoms can deter physical activity years later, although the reverse isn't...

Researchers developed an innovative epigenome editing platform that enables precise programming of epigenetic modifications across the genome. This technology uses CRISPR to target and modify chromatin, facilitating deta...

Researchers unveiled a new combination immunotherapy that significantly boosts the immune response in patients with malignant gliomas. By integrating a personalized dendritic cell vaccine with poly-ICLC, an immune-boosti...

The implementation of integrated optical switches shows promise in the size reduction of ROADMs for greater flexibility and compactness, ultimately leading to robust single-chip solutions. Despite decades of research on ...

Researchers identified the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as a crucial area linked to sensory hypersensitivity in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This sensory hypersensitivity, affecting about 90% of individuals with a...

The planet's magnetic field may have collapsed around 600 million years ago, enabling a major oxygenation event and perhaps supercharging evolution.

With pulses of sound through tiny speakers, Cornell physics researchers have clarified the basic nature of a new superconductor.

The demand for high pixel-count, low-cost focal-plane arrays in the near-infrared (NIR) and short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectra has surged due to their potential applications in AI-driven technologies such as 3D fac...

Superfast levitating trains, long-range lossless power transmission, faster MRI machines--all these fantastical technological advances could be in our grasp if we could just make a material that transmits electricity wit...

Surprising recent measurements hint that the universe isn't expanding in the way we had thought, and it could be explained by still-theoretical dark radiation

A new study uncovered that aging clocks, which assess biological age, do so by measuring stochastic changes in cellular processes, particularly in DNA methylation. These clocks indicate that biological age, influenced by...

Researchers created the largest 3D reconstruction of human brain tissue at synaptic resolution, capturing detailed images of a cubic millimeter of human temporal cortex. This tiny piece of brain contains 57,000 cells, 23...

An international team of researchers has discovered that the quantum particles responsible for the vibrations of materials--which influence their stability and various other properties--can be classified through topology...

Atlantic currents slowed dramatically during the Younger Dryas period. By reconstructing those ancient ocean conditions, scientists think they can forecast changes over the next century.
