University of Queensland researchers have for the first time introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening a potential pathway for rapid crop improvement. The research is published in Nature Plants....
Covalent bonding is a widely understood phenomenon that joins the atoms of a molecule by a shared electron pair. But in nature, patterns of molecules can also be connected through weaker, more dynamic forces that give rise to supramolecular networks. These can self-assemble from an initial molecular...
Researchers at Umeå University have recently developed a highly sensitive method for detecting bacterial spores—tough microorganisms that survive extreme conditions and can cause both food poisoning and infections. This method could help improve food safety and health care....
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have unlocked the potential of graphene in areas as diverse as vehicles, consumer electronics and environmental cleanup with an eco-friendly ink for 3D-printing....
High-dose gold nanoparticle treatment outperformed orlistat in reversing obesity-related damage in rats, according to research conducted by Alexandria University, Erbil Polytechnic University, and Pharos University....
Attosecond time-resolved experiments have revealed the increasing importance of electronic correlations in the collective plasmon response as the size of the system decreases to sub-nm scales....
A collaborative study published on January 21 in Nature Communications presents a novel strategy to improve the effectiveness of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)....
Nanoparticle researchers spend most of their time on one thing: counting and measuring nanoparticles. Each step of the way, they have to check their results. They usually do this by analyzing microscopic images of hundreds of nanoparticles packed tightly together. Counting and measuring them takes a...
The skin serves as the body's primary defense against harmful microorganisms, toxins, and physical damage. However, severe injuries from burns, trauma, surgery, or conditions like diabetes can compromise its ability to heal naturally, necessitating advanced wound care solutions. While minor wounds...
Researchers from Murdoch University and The University of Western Australia found the forewings of the fruit-sucking moth (Eudocima aurantia) have the appearance of a crumpled leaf—but are in fact flat....
