Magnetic resonance imaging has long been the workhorse of cancer diagnosis, prized for its soft-tissue contrast, deep penetration, and lack of ionizing radiation. Yet the contrast agents that make tumors visible have barely changed in decades. Small-molecule gadolinium agents circulate passively, wash out quickly, and light up everything they touch, generating an always-on background that […]

Inside every cell, RNA molecules are constantly on the move. Long non-coding RNAs shuttle to the nucleus to help regulate genes, microRNAs settle into the cytoplasm where they silence messenger transcripts, and circular RNAs take up posts in both compartments, acting as molecular sponges and scaffolds.

Human inspectors catch many of these flaws, […]

A new generation of simulations is uncovering how starlight, gas, and chemistry interacted in the infant Universe. The first stars transformed a Universe made mostly of hydrogen and helium.

Forensic pathologists have long faced one of the most consequential questions in their discipline: when a person suffers a craniocerebral injury, was the head accelerated into an object, or was it struck and then decelerated? The distinction matters enormously in legal medicine, because it can determine whether a death was an accident, an assault, or […]

Artificial intelligence has transformed many corners of medicine, yet one stubborn problem continues to limit its reach in clinics: most diagnostic algorithms are built to consume a single, tidy stream of data. Real patients do not come that way. A heart patient arrives with an echocardiogram video, a twelve-lead electrocardiogram tracing, a panel of myocardial […]

For millions of people living with atrial fibrillation, a dangerous and often hidden companion goes undetected night after night. Obstructive sleep apnea is extraordinarily common in patients with this irregular heart rhythm, yet it frequently escapes diagnosis because the symptoms of the two conditions blur into one another. Fatigue, breathless nights, and fragmented sleep are […]

Decommissioning humanoid robots that are packed with proprietary tech is a tricky thing – you want to make sure none of the expensive raw material goes to waste, but you also need to make sure no one else gets a hold of your tech.

Scientists at the University of Chicago have uncovered a surprising quantum state in the layered magnetic material Fe5GeTe2, where huge numbers of electrons move together unusually slowly while remaining quantum coherent. The behavior contradicts existing theoretical predictions about how the material’s magnetism should work and suggests scientists may need to rethink its underlying physics.

Author(s): Dickson Boahen, Sushant Padhye, Gayan De Silva, Eshanvi Rao, and Evgeny MikheevTwo-dimensional systems in which electrons travel long distances without colliding (scattering) with defects are important for building quantum devices and circuits with interesting emergent physics. Such a system would be especially valuable if it were also superconducting and could be cleanly patterned into devices smaller than the average distance between electron scattering events. Combining all the above in a single material is difficult, and strontium titanate is one of the few material platforms where this could plausibly be achieved. In this work, the authors explored a promising approach to pattern and tune electron density on strontium titanate surfaces using hydrogen plasma and side gate voltages. They observed clean electron transport, with scattering lengths

A sweeping review published in the Journal of Advanced Research argues that a class of engineered nanomaterials known as metal-based nanozymes could transform the treatment of chronic wounds, pathological scarring, and even hair loss by doing something no current therapy can: simultaneously fighting infection, calming inflammation, and driving true tissue regeneration.
