Using a two-particle measurement method, scientists have found that even at tremendous precision, the proton and antiproton have nearly identical magnetic moments.
Artificial Sugar Blocks Spread Of Liver Cancer
A modified sugar can prevent liver cancer cells from becoming invasive by disrupting a key step in the fucosylation pathway.
How Flaws Create The Perfect Fish Eye
Using mathematical modeling, scientists in Japan have revealed how light-sensing cone cells in the fish eye eventually adopt a specific pattern.
Wearable Solar Cells That You Can Put In The Wash
Scientists have developed an ultra-thin solar cell that can continue to provide electricity even after being soaked in water or being stretched and compressed.
Prenatal Dietary Deficiencies Linked To Schizophrenia Risk
Scientists in Japan have discovered that the lack of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the prenatal diet is linked to schizophrenic symptoms in offspring.
