Sophisticated scanning technology is revealing intriguing secrets about Little Foot, the remarkable fossil of an early human forerunner that inhabited South Africa 3.67 million years ago during a critical juncture in our evolutionary history.
Scientists based at the University of Oxford as part of the Faraday Institution CATMAT project researching next-generation cathode materials have made a significant advance in understanding oxygen-redox processes involved in lithium-rich cathode materials. The paper, published in

Nowakowski and Alexey Amunts Scientists uncover for the first time how the body's energy makers are made using Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) at eBIC within Diamond which is based in Oxfordshire. A new paper published in Science today (19 February 2021) by an international team of researchers reports an insight into the molecular mechanism of membrane-tethered protein synthesis in mitochondria. This is a fundamental new unders...
Date Time Scientists able to see how potential cancer treatment reacts in single cell · Osmium is a rare precious metal that could be used to treat cancer with fewer side effects when compared to Platinum, currently used in nearly half of chemotherapies · How exactly Osmium reacts in a single cancer cell has been tracked by researchers from the University of Warwick · Using a 185 metre synchrotron beamline, the researchers found that Osmium reacts in the cytoplasm rather than the nucleus of a human lung cancer cell, which may reduce side effects Using a 185 metre beamline at the Diamond sy...
Researchers track how Osmium reacts in a single cancer cell Osmium is a rare precious metal that could be used to treat cancer with fewer side effects when compared to Platinum, currently used in nearly half of chemotherapies. How exactly Osmium reacts in a single cancer cell has been tracked by researchers from the University of Warwick. Using a 185-meter synchrotron beamline, the researchers found that Osmium reacts in the cytoplasm rather than the nucleus of a human lung cancer cell, which may reduce side effects. Using a 185-meter beamline at the Diamond synchrotron, researchers could see...
