A study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons reveals that performing a minor surgical procedure on patients newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer helps to identify cancer spread early and determine the stage of cancer

An innovative two-dimensional electrically conductive metal-organic framework (MOF) has been created by a group of chemists at Clemson University.

A new study by Uppsala University shows that a higher body mass index (BMI) increases the risk of five different rheumatic diseases: rheumatism, osteoarthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis and inflammatory spondylitis. The researchers also noted that BMI was a stronger risk factor for women compared to men in terms of gout and psoriatic arthritis. The study will be presented in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatology.

50 million years ago in what is now northwestern Colorado, a katydid died, sank to the bottom of a lake and was quickly buried in fine sediments, where it remained until its compressed fossil was recovered in recent years.

Just as a great meal requires the appropriate ingredients prepared expertly, developing better green fuel alternatives necessitates the combination of the right materials and methods.

At present, the manufacturing of chemicals contributes 40% of all energy used in production. Also, the method leads to toxic solvent waste that pollutes the environment and causes health risks to animals and humans.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have demonstrated how to create cage structures with nanoparticles using computer simulations, which could indicate a way to create structured nanostructures with heterogeneous materials.

Efficient biological signal transmission can be achieved with the use of implantable bioelectrodes. The use of metal-based bioelectrodes is associated with tissue inflammation, inefficient signal transduction, and uncontrolled stability in living biological systems.

With water as the only “waste” product, solid oxide fuel cells, often known as SOFCs, are a type of electrochemical device that uses hydrogen as fuel to produce electricity

The study questions if nuclear physics can enhance the prediction of earthquakes. That is the aim of the European research project artEmis, in which the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung is taking part collectively with twelve other institutes.
