Scientists study lipids cell by cell, making new cancer research possible
Imagine being able to look inside a single cancer cell and see how it communicates with its neighbors. Scientists are celebrating a new technique that lets them study the fatty contents of cancer cells, one by one......»»
The Volvo VNL, a heavy truck purpose-designed for North American roads
Blindspot cameras and radars, a more efficient engine, and lower-drag cab all help. Enlarge / America sends five times more freight by truck than rail, so it's important to start making those trucks more fuel efficient and safer......»»
High status leads to increased happiness—sometimes
Is it worth the effort to seek high status in a group or setting for which a person has no real passion? New Cornell research suggests the answer is "no.".....»»
Researchers demonstrate low-loss and polarization-independent integrated optical colorless ROADM
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 switches with various structur.....»»
Areas with more illegal market opportunities more likely to be targeted by organized crime, study shows
Communities with higher-than-average illegal market opportunities (proxied by drug-related activities) are more likely to be targeted by organized crime groups, a new study shows......»»
Study finds not all failures lead to learning
Do people learn from their failures? In a new study, researchers have examined the high-stakes field of cardiothoracic surgery to assess the relationship between individuals' experiences with failures and the learning outcomes associated with them. T.....»»
Saturated soils could impact survival of young trees planted to address climate change
The saturated soil conditions predicted to result from increased rainfall in the UK's upland regions could have a knock-on effect on the ambition to create more woodland in the fight against climate change, a new study has found......»»
New DNA origami technique promises advances in medicine

Alternating triangular charge density wave domains observed within a layered superconducting compound
A research team consisting of NIMS and the Tokyo University of Science observed charge density waves (CDWs) within niobium diselenide (NbSe2)—a layered compound—at cryogenic temperatures and discovered that they form alternating triangular domain.....»»
Research presents 2D dipole orientation method for mapping cells
Due to the high transparency of cells, it is very difficult to observe the organelles within them. Biologists can label specific organelles for observation through fluorescence staining. This is somewhat analogous to being in an environment without l.....»»
How aging clocks tick: New study points to stochastic changes in cells
Aging clocks can measure the biological age of humans with high precision. Biological age can be influenced by environmental factors such as smoking or diet, thus deviating from chronological age that is calculated using the date of birth. The precis.....»»
Genes spatially organize for efficient mRNA splicing, study shows
The nucleus of each of your cells contains all the genetic information (the genome) necessary to build every type of cell and protein in your entire body. Like a complex library in a tiny space 50 times smaller than the width of a human hair, genes a.....»»

Scientists Geoffrey Hawtin and Cary Fowler, who on Thursday received the prestigious World Food Prize for "their work to preserve the world's heritage of seeds", are on a mission......»»
Changes in pig farming in the 20th century spread antibiotic-resistant Salmonella around the world, finds study
Historical changes in pig farming led to the global spread of Salmonella, resistant to antibiotics—a new international study led by researchers at the University of Warwick suggests......»»
Net zero plans show limited climate ambition on "residual" emissions
New research by the University of East Anglia (UEA) reveals what countries think will be their most difficult to decarbonize sectors when they reach net zero, with agriculture expected to be responsible for the largest remaining emissions......»»
Study finds liberals and conservatives differ on climate change beliefs—but are relatively united in taking action
The division between liberals and conservatives on both climate-change beliefs and related policy support is long-standing. However, the results of a newly released global experiment show that despite these differences, the two camps actually align w.....»»
Apple maintains US market share as smartphone demand continues to weaken
New research claims that US smartphone shipments have declined 8% year over year, yet Apple's iPhone has stayed steady at 52% of the market.Delays over Apple's iPhone 14 saw its sales boost come late, which has now affected yearly comparisonsEven if.....»»
Astrophysicists discover a novel method for hunting the first stars
A recent study led by the research group of Professor Jane Lixin Dai of the Department of Physics at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has discovered a novel method for detecting the first-generations stars, known as Population III (Pop III) stars, w.....»»
Research investigates the environment of globular cluster NGC 6355
Using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), Argentinian astronomers have investigated the environment of a galactic globular cluster known as NGC 6355. The study, presented in a paper published May 2 on the pre-print server arXiv, found that the cluster ha.....»»
Getting dirty to clean up the chemical industry"s environmental impact
The global chemical industry is a major fossil fuel consumer and climate change contributor; however, new Curtin University research has identified how the sector could clean up its green credentials by getting dirty......»»
