New drug delivery method can reverse senescence of stem cells
As we age, our bodies change and degenerate over time in a process called senescence. Stem cells, which have the unique ability to change into other cell types, also experience senescence, which presents an issue when trying to maintain cell cultures.....»»
Heterostructure lets excitons carry more information for quantum applications
Excitons are electron-hole pairs in semiconductors that are electrostatically bound by strong Coulombic interactions. In ultrathin 2D semiconductors that are a few atoms thick (typically ~0.7 nm), the decreased z-dimension presents strong quantum con.....»»
Electron acceleration efficiency during the impulsive phase of a solar flare: X-ray and microwave observations
Solar flares are known to be prolific electron accelerators, yet identifying the mechanism(s) for such efficient electron acceleration in magnetic reconnection events at the sun (and similar astrophysical settings) presents a major challenge in astro.....»»
