Thanks to their high efficiency and environment-friendly features in the process of electricity generation, fuel cells are becoming increasingly popular for the manufacture of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs), such as buses, forklifts, automobiles, and airplanes. However, the expensive nature of manufacturing fuel cell catalysts impedes the mass-production and extensive application of FCVs.

There is a conveyor belt of water that runs throughout Earth's oceans. Its churning is driven by variances in the temperature and saltiness of the water, and weather patterns across the globe are controlled by its activity.

Cancerous tumors are made up of many more components than just malignant cells from the tissue of origin. Immune cells can be recruited to the tumor site and form what is known as the tumor microenvironment.

The multitude of common algae covering the surface of seas and ponds may have the solution to increasing the efficiency of artificial photosynthesis, enabling researchers to create more energy and cut wastage in the process.

T-cells respond to buildups of alpha-synuclein, the aggregated protein clumps that are a feature of neurodegenerative diseases including dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson's disease (PD), according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Science.

Chinese Americans and Laotian Americans were over 10 and 14 times more likely to be diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, respectively, than non-Hispanic white Americans, with incidence rates surpassing other Asian American subgroups, according to results presented at the virtual 14th AACR Conference on the Science of Cancer Health Disparities in Racial/Ethnic Minorities and the Medically Underserved, held October 6-8, 2021.

Similar to a pinball game worked by a good player, a group of obstacles randomly placed can be adequate to capture light without requiring an optical cavity.

In a recent study published in CANCER RESEARCH , a team led by researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) identified a specific small RNA molecule, called a microRNA (miRNA or miR), that has the potential to be used as an anti-cancer therapeutic.

An energy-efficient approach has been discovered by Japanese researchers to convert the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals.

An analysis of electronic health records of nearly 580,000 fully vaccinated people in the United States found that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection among vaccinated patients with substance use disorders was low overall, but higher than the risk among vaccinated people without substance use disorders.
