Scientists have directly measured the minuscule electron sharing that makes precious-metal catalysts so effective. Their new technique, IET, reveals how molecules bind and react on metal surfaces with unprecedented clarity. The insights promise ...
Researchers have discovered a way to store information using a rare class of materials called ferroaxials, which rely on swirling electric dipoles instead of magnetism or charge. These vortex-like states are naturally stable and resistant to outside ...
A cutting-edge approach to immunotherapy shows that forcing cancer cells to die through necroptosis can dramatically boost the body's anti-tumor defenses. By combining three existing drugs, scientists reprogrammed malignant B cells so they release .. ...
Researchers created a dissolvable microneedle patch that delivers IL-4 directly to damaged heart tissue, jump-starting repair after a heart attack. The targeted approach shifts immune cells into a healing mode while improving communication between .. ...
Scientists confirmed that West Coast transient killer whales actually form two separate groups split between inner and outer coastal habitats. Inner-coast whales hunt smaller prey in shallow, maze-like waterways, while outer-coast orcas pursue large ...
New climate modeling shows that heatwaves will keep getting hotter, longer, and more frequent for centuries--even after the world hits net-zero emissions. Delays of just a few years dramatically increase the likelihood of extreme, once-rare heat ...
Scientists may finally be closing in on the origins of two colossal, mysterious structures buried nearly 1,800 miles inside Earth--hidden formations that have puzzled researchers for decades. New modeling suggests that slow leakage of elements from . ...
Researchers have launched the first coordinated plan to protect microbial biodiversity, calling attention to the "invisible 99% of life" that drives essential Earth systems. The IUCN has formally recognized this effort through the creation of the ...
Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production and even maintains this process for weeks. It ...
New research shows that light's magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that this magnetic component significantly affects how light rotates as it passes through certain materials. Their work challenges a ...
