Astronomers find 'gold standard' star in Milky Way. Credit: Carnegie ScienceThere is a relatively bright star in our sun's neighborhood of the Milky Way Galaxy. Inside of it, astronomers have been able to identify the widest variety of elements in a star more than our solar system yet.The research, led by University of Michigan...
Single-photon emission by a self-assembled GaN/AlN quantum dot. Credit: J. StachurskiTo achieve quantum technology, we need to create a non-classical source of lights that can produce a single photon at a time and accomplish this on-demand. Researchers at EPFL have now developed one of these single-photon emitter that can operate at room temperature. Based...
Testing of new pharmaceutical products. Credit: Freepik.What do gunpowder, penicillin, and Teflon all share? They were innovations that took the globe by storm, but they were all developed by pure accident.In a new research study announced in the journal Science, researchers used electrical power to establish equipment that can make it less complicated...

In the pursuit to develop smart skin that resembles the sensing capacities of all-natural skin, ionic skins have actually revealed considerable advantages. They're constructed from versatile, biocompatible hydrogels. That use ions to carry an electrical charge. As opposed to smart skins made of plastics and also steel, the hydrogels have the soft qualities of...
Destroying cancer cells without affecting bordering normal cells is the most desirable method for targeted cancer treatment. However, it can not be easily accomplished because of the resemblances in the properties in between normal and cancer cells.So scientists at the IBS developed an innovative strategy called CINDELA (Cancer-specific INDEL Attacker). Which invades cancer-specific...
Researchers have developed self-assembled, protein-based circuits that can do simple logic functions in proof-of-concept research. The work demonstrates that it is possible to develop stable digital circuits that benefit from an electron's properties at quantum scales.Molecular circuitsOne of the stumbling blocks in developing molecular circuits is that the circuits become unreliable as the circuit...
Tasiilaq, Greenland. Credit: Courthouse News Service.Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have momentarily put the brakes on fast warming and ice melting in Greenland.Researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan have clarified a confusing, decade-long stagnation in summer warming across Greenland.Their observational analysis and computer simulations exposed that changes in sea surface temperature in the...
Lignin-based jet fuel packs more power for less pollutionSpeculative plant-based jet fuel can enhance engine efficiency and effectiveness while doing without aromatics. The pollution-causing substances added to standard gas, according to a new research study.In research published in the journal Gas, researchers evaluated a Washington State University-developed jet fuel based on lignin. A natural...
Diagnostic and Interventional CardiologyPfizer Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Lots of ACCUPRIL (Quinapril HCl) Due to N-Nitroso-Quinapril Content | DAICPfizer voluntarily recalled 5 lots of quinapril HCI (Accupril) tablets distributed to the patient level as a result of the presence of the N-nitroso-quinapril nitrosamine, observed in recent testing over the acceptable daily intake (ADI) level.Pfizer...
