New way to control light with electric fields
“Our method is similar to the technique used to provide the computing capabilities of computers,” says Linyou Cao, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and
Controlling 3-D behavior of biological cells using laser holographic techniques
Conventional optical manipulation techniques called “optical tweezers,” have been used as an invaluable tool for exerting micro-scale force on microscopic particles and manipulating three-dimensional (3-D) positions of particles. Optical tweezers
Unveiling the quantum necklace
The quest for these states begins with a doughnut, or rather, a doughnut-shaped container housing a rotating superfluid. This superfluid, which is a fluid that moves with no friction, is
Two genetic variants in bicuspid aortic valve development
In a new Nature Communications study, the Michigan Medicine-led group found two genetic variants associated with the condition. Bicuspid aortic valve is moderately heritable, yet experts are still figuring out
CRKL in 22q11.2; a key gene that contributes to common birth defects
Congenital genitourinary birth defects, whether they occur as part of a syndrome such as DiGeorge syndrome or as isolated congenital abnormalities, are among the most common types of birth defects.
Cellular stress in the brain may contribute to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Losing sleep over climate change
The study was led by Nick Obradovich, who conducted much of the research as a doctoral student in political science at the University of California San Diego. He was inspired
Preliminary: BRCA variations may work alongside COMT variation to reduce breast cancer
The data set looked at women who volunteered for non-cancer related clinical trials, leading researchers to believe they have not developed cancer or have a family history of cancer. “Not
The perils of publishing location data for endangered species
The authors highlight how increasingly, as in other fields experiencing so-called “dual use” dilemmas, researchers who publish on rare species with the goal of aiding conservation inadvertently end up fueling
A flip switch for binge-eating?
Intriguingly, patients receiving deep brain stimulation of the subthalamus, which includes the ZI, for the treatment of movement disorders can exhibit characteristics of binge eating. To explore this phenomenon in
Increased leaf abundance is a double-edged sword
A substantial portion of the planet is greening in response to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide, nitrogen deposition, global warming and land use change. The increase in leafy green coverage, or
Infections, other factors raise risk of pregnancy-related stroke in women with preeclampsia
Women with preeclampsia are at higher risk of stroke during pregnancy and after delivery. But while preeclampsia affects 3 percent to 8 percent of all pregnancies, pregnancy-related stroke remain rare.
