The material class of halide perovskites is seen as a great hope for even more solar power at even lower costs. The materials are very cheap, can be processed into thin films with minimal energy input and achieve already efficiencies that are significantly higher than those of conventional s
Periodontitis, a gum disease, can lead to a litany of dental issues from bad breath to bleeding and lost teeth. Now, researchers at Hiroshima University have found that it could be connected to even more severe problems elsewhere in the body -- the heart.
An international team of scientists have demonstrated a leap in preserving the quantum coherence of quantum dot spin qubits as part of the global push for practical quantum networks and quantum computers.
The world's first international clinical guidelines to help prevent and treat heart complications in children undergoing cancer treatment have been created.
A group of researchers from the Graduate School of Medicine at Nagoya University in Japan have discovered the impact of microRNA (miRNA) on inflammation in lupus in mice. They identified two miRNAs that are downregulated in the disease and an uncommon situation that occurs in which multiple
A new study by researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center -- Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC -- James) suggests a way to re-energize critical killer immune cells that have become exhausted when fighting cancer or chro
Regularly eating a high fat/calorie diet could reduce the brain's ability to regulate calorie intake. New research in rats found that after short periods of being fed a high fat/high calorie diet, the brain adapts to react to what is being ingested and reduces the amount of food eaten to bal
People with early cardiovascular disease may be more likely to have memory and thinking problems and worse brain health in middle age, according to new research published in the online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
The dairy industry strives to preserve the quality and safety of milk products while maintaining the freshest possible taste for consumers. To date, the industry has largely focused on packaging milk in light-blocking containers to preserve freshness, but little has been understood about how
Whether it's a tablet, phone, computer, or television, your young children are undoubtedly spending a lot of time staring at a screen, therefore you probably worry about it. Most likely, you're interested in learning how screen time impacts your child's development and whether there's anythi
In a paper published online this week in the journal, Nutrients, researchers found that consuming mixed tree nuts (almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts) had a positive effect on the metabolism of the essential amino acid, tryptophan,
The Latest Permian Mass Extinction (LPME) was the largest extinction in Earth's history to date, killing between 80-90 per cent of life on the planet, though finding definitive evidence for what caused the dramatic changes in climate has eluded experts.
