Researchers have developed an 'armour polymerisation' technique to improve battery stability. By trapping liquid solvents within a solid framework, the method boosts energy flow whilst maintaining safety. This approach suggests a practical way to build longer-lasting power cells.
Researchers tested nine artificial intelligence models to see which could best identify different types of tissue from microscopic images. While a massive pathology model proved the most accurate on unfamiliar data, a smaller model offered the best balance of speed and precision. This suggests we could soon deploy highly effective diagnostic tools on standard hospital computers.
Scientists have found that counting escaped cancer cells in the blood can show how well a patient's treatment is working. This simple blood check could help doctors make better, faster decisions for patients with bowel cancer.
By applying advanced genome-wide sequencing, scientists have mapped the complex ancient migrations across the Pacific. The DNA reveals multiple waves of expansion, unexpected return voyages, and strict social structures in early island communities.
Scientists have discovered exactly how a faulty PPP1R9A gene disrupts brain cell development. By studying lab-grown human neurones, they found that a missing copy of this gene causes cells to grow too many branches while failing to send electrical signals properly. This structural mismatch may explain its strong link to psychiatric conditions.
Scientists have discovered how special immune cells called brain perivascular macrophages keep our brain's blood vessels healthy. They use a genetic switch called cMAF to send protective signals, which may help defend the brain against Alzheimer's disease.
Scientists have invented a clever way to track exactly where DNA-unwinding proteins work inside living cells. By attaching a special tag that leaves a footprint on the DNA, they can map these tiny machines. This new method helps researchers understand how our genetic code stays healthy.
Scientists tested water quality in a Himalayan river to see how human activity affects microscopic plant life. They found that different types of algae can act as warning signs for pollution, helping us protect vulnerable rivers.
Scientists have discovered a way to filter out unwanted light particles, significantly reducing errors in quantum systems. By achieving higher single-photon purity, this breakthrough paves the way for reliable quantum computers that could eventually revolutionise fields like genomic medicine.
Scientists have discovered a way to separate a material's stiffness from its bounciness using brush-like molecular structures. This finding allows engineers to tune how soft a material is without changing its chemical makeup. It suggests we could soon create synthetic materials that closely mimic the behaviour of living tissues.
Scientists have successfully grouped tiny semiconductor crystals into dense spherical structures called superballs. This tight packing forces the crystals to synchronise and emit intense, coherent flashes of light. The discovery offers a versatile new platform to investigate emission dynamics for future scalable quantum photonic technologies.
Researchers have developed a new framework to filter out magnetic noise when scanning complex materials. This method maps hidden atomic pathways, suggesting a new way to analyse chaotic structures from battery components to solid-state lighting.
