Theoretical calculations reveal previously unknown layers where nuclear reactions within the crust cause rapid neutrino cooling, altering our understanding of neutron star hot surfaces. Researchers now face new questions about the star's thermal dynamics and discovery potential of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams.
Researchers at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre have identified a promising new therapeutic path for colorectal cancer by disarming the BMI-1 gene, which drives self-renewal in stem cells. Inhibiting this gene resulted in long-term and irreversible impairment of tumour growth, providing strong evidence for its clinical relevance.
A new study reveals that marine reserves can build community resilience through mechanisms promoting species stability, while resisting colonization by warm-water vagrants. The research highlights the importance of long-term data on fish species in understanding ecological change.
A nanosponge vaccine has been developed to combat MRSA toxins, triggering neutralizing antibodies and fighting off lethal doses in mice. The vaccine was found to be safer and more effective than traditional toxoid vaccines made from heat-treated staph toxin.
Researchers analyzed GPS data from the 2010 Maule earthquake, revealing a 'silent' afterslip that triggered aftershocks. The study suggests local processes, such as pressurized fluids, drive aftershock activity independently of large-scale stress transfer.
Researchers have successfully transformed human stem cells into functional lung and airway cells, opening up new possibilities for regenerative medicine. The breakthrough has significant implications for modeling lung diseases, screening drugs, and studying human lung development.
Researchers used a dual-electrode photoelectrochemistry method to study the flow of electrons at semiconductor-electrocatalyst junctions. They found that thin layers of ion-porous electrocatalyst material work best, reducing energy loss associated with the catalyst-semiconductor interface.
