IN THE LAB
Could The Cosmos Be A Collider?
The cosmos and elementary particles—the largest and smallest objects studied by physicists—are intricately linked.
Nanoparticles Seal Wounds And Show Up In Scans
Scientists have developed a surgical glue that is both adherent and visible in ultrasound and other common imaging techniques.
Quenching Inflammation For Faster Wound Repair
A common anti-inflammatory drug could help to improve the ability of stem cells to heal chronic wounds, researchers say.
Gene Therapy Targeting Neuromuscular Junctions Could Alleviate ALS
Using gene therapy, scientists in Japan have slowed muscle degeneration and prolonged life in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Scientists Obtain The Most Accurate Measurements Of Proton Mass To Date
Precise measurements of the mass of a proton find it to be three standard deviations lower than previous estimates.
Swapping Out Germanium For Cheaper Solid-State Batteries
By replacing germanium with more common and cheaper materials, researchers in Japan have developed low-cost solid-state batteries that do not sacrifice on performance.
Autophagy Is Essential For Good Hearing
A cellular recycling process called autophagy plays an important role in our sense of hearing by maintaining inner-ear hair cells.
Sniffing Out Social Memories
Using molecular and behavioral observation techniques in mice, scientists in China have uncovered the basis of socially-dependent, odor-based learning and memory.
Unabated Climate Change Would Reverse Asia’s Prosperity
Unless immediate action is taken, climate change is almost certainly going to reverse Asia’s impressive development gains made over the last few decades.
