IN THE LAB
Teasing Out The Differences Between Breast Fibroepithelial Tumors
Researchers have mapped the genetic landscape of two distinct forms of fibroepithelial tumors, paving the way for more targeted screening and treatment.
Supercritical Fluids Help Stabilize Quantum Dot Formation
Supercritical CO2, which is also used to decaffeinate coffee, has been used to stabilize the formation of quantum dots.
Crucial Hurdle In Quantum Computing Overcome
For the first time, researchers have built the basic building block of a quantum computer—a two-qubit logic gate—and have done so using existing silicon technology.
Switching Off The Infanticide Instinct
Researchers have identified a region in the mouse brain involved in whether males decide to nurture mouse pups or attack them.
Could Candle Soot Power Electric Vehicles?
Just ten kilograms of fractal-like carbon nanoparticles from candle soot is sufficient for the battery of an electric vehicle, researchers say.
Estimating MERS Risks In Real-Time
The statistical method of estimating death risks in real-time developed by Japanese researchers is especially useful for novel outbreaks with few patients.
Exercise Triggers The Phosphorylation Of A Thousand Proteins
Over a thousand proteins are phosphorylated within ten minutes of exercise, suggesting that drugs to mimic exercise will have to target multiple pathways.
Ultra-Intense Lasers Empty Atoms From The Inside Out
The J-KAREN femtosecond laser facility has been used to generate X-rays with a radiative temperature of 15,000,000°C.
Neurons That Respond To Intermediate Colors Identified
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated that there are neurons that respond to colors outside of the red/green and yellow/blue dichotomies.
