Quantum breakthrough may leadA team of physicists led by The City College of New York's Lia Krusin-Elbaum has developed a novel technique that uses hydrogen cations (H+) to manipulate relativistic electronic bandstructures in a... magnetic Weyl semimetal--a topological material where electrons mimic massless particles called Weyl fermions. These particles are distinguished by their chirality or "handedness" linked to their spin and momentum.

Red Light Therapy May Reduce Deadly Blood Clots

Neuroscience News - 11 Jan 2025 21:36
Red Light Therapy May ReduceExposure to long-wavelength red light significantly reduced blood clot formation in both mice and human studies. Red light was associated with lower inflammation, reduced immune system activation, and... fewer clot-promoting mechanisms, such as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and platelet activation. Unlike blue or white light, red light influenced clotting through optic pathways, suggesting its effects are mediated by neural mechanisms rather than direct blood exposure.
1st-of-its-kind databaseA new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.
