Nazim Mamedov, adjunct assistant professor in the Stockbridge School of Agriculture, has been telling the international scientific community about the pharmacological properties of specific herbal plants native to Syria and Iran. Now his research, pu.....»»
Apple’s treatment of small games developer makes a textbook antitrust case
Apple has voraciously denied accusations that the App Store has monopolistic control over iPhone apps, yet the company’s ability to unilaterally close developer accounts without explanation forms a textbook antitrust case. One small games develo.....»»
Nanoneedle breakthrough gives hope for cheaper cancer treatment
Australian scientists have successfully found a way to inject beneficial genetic material into white blood cells in a world-first breakthrough that could significantly improve treatment options for certain types of blood cancer......»»
Using starch as a novel drug transporter
A special type of starch could soon be used as an excipient in medicine to improve the treatment of patients. A research team from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) has discovered that it makes a suitable drug release system and has adv.....»»

Recent advances in electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis
NH3 is the second largest chemical produced in the world and nearly 80% of produced NH3 is employed in fertilizer synthesis. Meanwhile, NH3 is an indispensable raw material for manufacturing nitric acid, which can be further employed in chemical prod.....»»
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 Review: Cool, a New Hinge
We’re five years deep into Samsung’s Galaxy Z line. Last year, in our review, I wrote that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 was “nearly perfected.” As you’ll read below, the new Galaxy Z Fold 5 for 2023 is improved upon, but still no.....»»
Research gives new insights into the role food intake plays in fighting antimicrobial resistance
Cooking food thoroughly and avoiding some types of vegetables and salad during a course of antibiotic treatment could potentially reduce antibiotic resistance, by preventing bacteria carrying resistance genes getting into the gut, according to a new.....»»
Researchers identify biomarkers that may detect risk of advance prostate cancer in Black men
Scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States and a leading research center for diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses, have identified a cell metabolism process found in men wi.....»»
Apple could be refreshing the iPhone 14 with a USB-C port
Code found hidden in tvOS 17 suggests that older handsets might be getting the USB-C treatment too......»»
New study: Even treated wastewater affects our rivers
Effluents from wastewater treatment plants have a dual effect: Some species disappear, while others benefit. Especially certain insect orders, such as stonefly and caddisfly larvae, are decimated. Certain worms and crustaceans, by contrast, can incre.....»»
New calcium material functions as an ammonia synthesis catalyst
Researchers find calcium outshines chromium in the catalytic production of ammonia. Working together, a humble trio of calcium atoms have defied expectations to break apart one of the strongest chemical bonds known. The atoms form the key part of a c.....»»
Scientists invent new resorbable biomaterials for implantable medical devices
What if we had tiny devices in our bodies that could constantly monitor damaged arteries, accelerate bone regeneration and wound healing, or facilitate drug delivery for cancer treatment? This could open up remarkable opportunities for the treatment.....»»
Tiny antibodies hold big promise for cancer treatment
Using antibodies derived from alpacas, a University of Kentucky research team has developed a tool that could lead to new therapies to stop the growth of several types of cancer......»»
Scientists study how a diabetes drug affects soils
The transport of pharmaceuticals released from sewage treatment plants into farmland soils, with the potential to load into drinking water sources, is one that researchers at the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center (ISTC) study carefully. Even at.....»»
Nanozymes drive tumor-specific drug delivery while minimizing toxicity
Chemotherapy is a mainstay of cancer treatment. While effective, this therapy indiscriminately kills rapidly dividing cells—cancerous or otherwise—so patients frequently experience severe side effects, ultimately limiting its utility......»»
Small-molecule autocatalysis may have paved the way for the emergence of evolution by natural selection
The discipline of systems chemistry deals with the analysis and synthesis of various autocatalytic systems and is therefore closely related to the study of the origin of life, since it investigates systems that can be considered as a transition betwe.....»»
Successful polycarbonate synthesis using the photo-on-demand interfacial polymerization method
As an engineering plastic having high transparency and impact resistance, polycarbonate (PC) is employed in eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, DVDs, automobile headlights and bulletproof glass......»»
Experiments identify important new role of chemical compounds in plant development
Researchers who manipulate lignin, a molecular fiber that allows plants to grow tall and transport water, unexpectedly discovered its synthesis has more far-reaching effects on plant development than previously suspected......»»
