A new study has disclosed the fact that pre-historic coral reefs going back up to 250 million years extended much beyond the Earth’s equator compared to what is there at present.

Advanced Cancer Is Reduced in Women with Most Dense Breasts and Highest Risk. For many women, breast cancer screening with a three-dimensional imaging technique called digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) may not offer advantages over digital mammography, but for some it may reduce the chance of an advanced cancer diagnosis,

Recovery from severe COVID-19 is characterized by a reduction of certain white blood cells and changes in the molecular regulation of the immune system.

Each mistletoe berry can yield up to 2 m of viscin, a sticky thread. It enables the parasitic plant’s seeds to adhere to and infect host plants. Mistletoe berries have been used to cure anything from infertility to epilepsy to cancer since ancient times.

A graph of how long Americans sleep forms a U-shaped pattern across our lives, with age 40 being the low point and hours of sleep starting to creep back up about age 50, Medical College of Georgia investigators report.

Trinity College Dublin researchers have created luminescent, self-healing gels with a variety of potential applications ranging from counterfeiting bank notes to next-generation bio-sensing and imaging.

The University of Tokyo’s Institute of Industrial Science used a ferroelectric gate insulator and an atomic-layer-deposited oxide semiconductor channel to construct three-dimensional vertically structured field-effect transistors for high-density data storage devices.

In just a few minutes, scientists at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet have developed a small sensor for identifying pesticides on fruit. The approach, which was described as real evidence in the journal Advanced Science, uses flame-sprayed silver nanoparticles to boost the chemical signal.

Electro-optic modulators regulate the properties of light in response to electrical impulses and are used in a variety of applications ranging from sensing to metrology and telecommunications.

A new study, led by researchers from the University of California, Irvine, reveals the unique cell-to-cell communication networks that can perpetuate inflammation and prevent repigmentation in patients with vitiligo disease.
