Physicists develop an analytical formula for measuring Hawking radiation on the black hole’s event horizon. It will help scientists test the accuracy of different quantum gravity theories. In 1975, Stephen Hawking published a theory stating...
Scientists study a type of naturally occurring protein known as Sestrin. It can mimic various effects (benefits) of exercise. The experiments with mice and flies have shown that Sestrin upregulation mimics both molecular and physiological effects...
For the first time, geneticists have identified 45 new genes that cause blindness or cognitive disorders. They focused on a specific gene named SLC6A6. They were able to halt this deficiency in a little girl who was suffering from the same gene...
Researchers discover a new type of T-Cell Receptor (TCR) that identifies and destroys most human cancer types, without affecting healthy cells. It increases the prospect of “one-size-fits-all” cancer treatment. The traditional method of...
Researchers identify cellular pathways for increasing the lifespan of C.elegans by 500%. The incredible gain of C. elegans lifespan would be equivalent to a human living for approximately 500 years. Highly conserved insulin-like signaling (IIS) and...
Researchers published a high-quality genome of one of the most poisonous snakes, the Indian Cobra. They were able to identify 19 key toxic genes primarily expressed in the venom glands. This would lead to the development of effective drugs for...
The new material can withstand being shot at by bullets traveling at 3.6 miles per second. It is extremely impressive considering the fact that this material is highly compressive, made of plastic, and contains several holes. In material design...
For the first time, researchers develop a tiny silicon chip that can propel electrons in a distance smaller than the width of a human hair. The technology could accelerate particles fast enough to perform cutting-edge experiments in material...
The temperature of an object increases when a beam of enough energy is illuminated on it. The thermal radiation emitted by this object could be used for super-resolution imaging at every scale. Think of three scenarios: a bat navigates its way to...
Airplane sewage contains a remarkably high abundance and diversity of antibiotic-resistant microbes. About 90% of these microbes are resistant to at least 1 antibiotic. Infections arose from antibiotic-resistant bacteria can be difficult to treat...
Researchers develop a wood-based material by combining graphite with nanocellulose. It is stronger and 6 times lighter than stainless steel. It could be a green alternative for constructing lightweight body armor, vehicles and aircraft. Materials...
Researchers develop a revolutionary way to keep a patient’s vaccination history. It involves storing data in quantum dot dye and injecting it under the skin along with the vaccine. The data can be read after up to 5 years using a specially...
