Scientists identify key mechanism controlling skin regeneration
It's sunburn season. Many of us have experienced the pain and peeling that comes from unprotected time in the sun, but we may not focus on a remarkable and vital part of the process: the regeneration of skin as the damaged tissue is replaced with new.....»»
Webb Telescope Captures Stunning Image of the Cartwheel Galaxy
From its vantage out beyond the moon, Webb is turning its infrared eye toward far-away objects we've never been able to see before. It's also providing images of well-known objects like the Cartwheel Galaxy with an.....»»
New method of controlling qubits could advance quantum computers
Quantum computing, a field that relies on the principles of quantum mechanics to calculate outcomes, has the potential to perform tasks too complex for traditional computers and to do so at high speeds, making it in some ways the new frontier for sci.....»»
Acoustics researchers develop novel underwater carpet cloak
Acoustic camouflage, realized by controlling wave propagation, has attracted much attention in recent years. Aided by a reflecting surface, acoustic carpet cloak has become one of the most practically feasible invisibility devices......»»
Infrared spectra of highly positively charged C60 fullerenes and their relevance to unidentified infrared emission
Is there now at long last some plausible theoretical basis for the molecular origins and carriers of at least some of the most prominent unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands that have mystified astronomers for decades?.....»»
Surgical Dressing Helps Kill Melanoma, Regenerate Healthy Cells
Scientists at the University of Nottingham in the UK have created a surgical dressing that is specifically designed to facilitate and enhance photothermal therapy following melanoma resection. The dressing allows for near-infrared photothermal therap.....»»
Infrared heater arrays help to simulate ecosystem-scale forest soil warming
Under global warming, the rising temperature will exert profound impacts on forest ecosystems. How forest ecosystems respond to climate warming will determine forest trajectories over the next 100 years......»»
The chemical controlling life and death in hair follicles
A single chemical is key to controlling when hair follicle cells divide, and when they die. This discovery could not only treat baldness, but ultimately speed wound healing because follicles are a source of stem cells......»»
Moths use ultrasound to defend against bats
While a clear night sky might seem quiet and peaceful to us, empty of everything but stars, this nocturnal world is filled with a high-pitched cacophony of sound just beyond our ability to hear. Bats pierce the shadows with ultrasonic pulses that ena.....»»
Gemini South telescope"s GHOST spectrograph captures first light observations of a bright, chemically rich star
Gemini South, one of the world's most productive and powerful optical-infrared telescopes, has received a major capability boost with the successful installation of a new high-resolution spectrograph called GHOST constructed by an international conso.....»»
