At the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo, molecular dynamics simulations were utilized by the researchers to better comprehend the exceptional properties of amorphous solids, like glass.

Traditional bandages could be useful for healing minor skin abrasions, but soft-tissue injuries, such as those on the tongue or sensitive regions like the intestines, are more difficult to treat.

According to scientists at Georgia State University’s Institute for Biomedical Sciences, a nanoparticle vaccine that incorporates two proteins that stimulate immune responses against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that prompted the disease outbreak, has the chance of growing into broader and safer SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

A group of researchers from the Cavendish Laboratory along with their co-workers at the Universities of Augsburg (Germany) and Lancaster has discovered a novel physical effect when two-dimensional electron systems are subjected to terahertz waves.

Magnetic nanostructures are potentially useful medical instruments. They can be directed by external magnetic fields within the body to release medications or kill tumor cells once they have been incorporated into biological structures.

Scientists have used a wide range of blue-green algae species to drive a microprocessor uninterruptedly for a year, which still continues running, using only ambient light and water.

Peng Chen and Laurent Bellaiche of the University of Arkansas found an astounding mechanism for controlling ferroelectric polarization in a deterministic manner by applying light.

In light of global warming with increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and melting polar ice, reconstruction of paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic history during past periods when the Earth’s climate system altered significantly is vital for comprehending climate mechanism and thus enhancing predictions of the future.

Human activities like marsh logging and draining for agriculture are progressively depleting freshwater and saltwater wetlands that cover just 1% of the surface of the Earth but store over 20% of all the climate-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbed by ecosystems globally.

Scientists from the University of Cambridge prepared their robot chef to analyze the saltiness of a dish at various stages of the chewing procedure, simulating a similar method in humans, in partnership with domestic appliance manufacturer Beko.
