Researchers at Tsinghua University Press developed a nanoplatform that non-invasively eliminates solid liver cancer tumors in mice within a single five-minute dose. The treatment, which combines three mechanisms, achieves tumor eradication without perceivable side effects.
Researchers used an optical microscope to study the self-attraction of nanowires, revealing that electrostatic force is the primary driver. The study's findings have significant implications for fabricating high-quality nanowires and developing high-performance devices.
Researchers have developed a new method for producing hydrogen peroxide using copper-doped titanium dioxide as a catalyst. The process exhibits high selectivity and yield, making it a safe and sustainable alternative to traditional methods.
A new study suggests that writing systems are a crucial bottleneck preventing social groups from solving problems efficiently. The Seshat dataset reveals a 'scale threshold' where societies must reach a certain size before developing writing systems, which enables almost unlimited growth.
Researchers found that governance, rather than society size, plays a key role in determining the complexity of computational communications in prehispanic Mesoamerica. Computational communications were highly elaborate in areas ruled by autocratic rulers but less complex in areas with more collective power arrangements.
A research team found that combining human and AI predictions yields more accurate results, especially in atypical cases with unknown factors. Human analysis can fill gaps in big data, leading to better collective predictions.
Researchers have overcome significant barriers to developing safe and long-life lithium metal batteries by creating a new structure in the negative electrode that can regulate lithium ion flux. The results show high capacity retention of over 80% after more than 200 cycles of recharging.
Scientists have found that adding a single atom to rutile titanium dioxide can create oxygen vacancies, leading to more stable local structures and controlling reaction stability. This discovery could lead to new ways of understanding the relationship between material structure and function.
