Could removal of aging cells extend human life?
This breakthrough research has been led by Dr. Chaekyu Kim of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who is now at UNIST, and Dr. Ok Hee Jeon of the
The way toward cleaner coal plants
A team of researchers at RWTH Aachen University’s Institute of Aerodynamics (AIA) has long been interested in using computation to understand turbulence — one of the major challenging mysteries of
The largest virtual Universe ever simulated
Over a period of three years, a group of astrophysicists from the University of Zurich has developed and optimised a revolutionary code to describe with unprecedented accuracy the dynamics of

Graphene enhancing our vision of the infinitely small
Electron microscopes relies on an electron beam rather than light to illuminate the target sample. The electron beam would hit the sample, with the resulting scattering of the electrons allowing
Physicists use numerical ‘tweezers’ to study nuclear interactions
“Ultimately we want to understand how nuclear forces determine nuclear structure by studying how nuclei attract or repel one another,” says Dean Lee, professor of physics at NC State and
New study design holds promise for drug safety research
In this new, unbiased, “trend-in-trend” design, researchers monitor changes in frequency of outcomes as they relate to changes in an exposure to a drug across groups that adopt the drug
Radiation therapy vital to treating brain tumors, but it exacts a toll
In a new study, published in the June issue of Brain Connectivity, researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine report that irradiation can cause broader adverse
Similar design, different genes: Miniature weapons in the animal kingdom
With their powerful stings, jellyfish, sea anemones, and corals are a well-known hazard among ocean swimmers. The eponymous cell type of the 500-million-year-old Cnidaria is the cnidocyte, which contains microscopically
Mussels add muscle to biocompatible fibers
The Rice lab of chemist Jeffrey Hartgerink had already figured out how to make biocompatible nanofibers out of synthetic peptides. In new work, the lab is using an amino acid
Study shows texting as good as medication at improving type 2 diabetes management
The Dulce Digital clinical trial represents the first randomized controlled study to look at the use of text messages to help underserved Hispanics better self-manage their diabetes through glycemic control.
Risk for binge drinking differs by ethnicities, income and changes with age, study finds
Zapolski found that African-Americans and Hispanics in the lowest income bracket (annual incomes less than $20,000) have a lower risk of binge drinking during adolescence compared to whites, while African-Americans
Parasitic nematodes that cause greatest agricultural damage abandoned sex
While most animals — more than 99 percent — find that a sexual lifestyle is the best path for evolutionary success, certain root-knot nematode species can only reproduce without sex.
