New Frameshifting Therapy Effective Against Mast Cell CancersA team of researchers at North Carolina State University has developed a new frameshifting therapy that has shown promising results against mast cell cancers in mice. Mast cell cancers are a type of cancer that affects the immune system and can be difficult to treat. In the...
In 1934, Eugene Wigner, a pioneer of quantum mechanics, theorized of an odd sort of matter-- a crystal made from electrons. The idea was very straightforward, proving it had not been. With limited success, physicists tried many tricks over eighty years to nudge electrons right into forming these so-called Wigner crystals. However, in June,...
In a paper released in Nature Communications, the research study team describes the complicated physical processes working to recognize the chemistry of ice formation. The molecular-level viewpoint of this process may assist in forecasting the formation and melting of ice, from singular crystals to glaciers and ice sheets. The latter is essential to measure...
The ignition of plasma under water. Credit: © Damian GorczanyPhysicists of Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have taken amazing pictures that allow the ignition process of plasma underwater to be observed and also tracked in real-time. Dr. Katharina Grosse has given the first data collections with the ultra-high temporal resolution, backing a new theory on igniting...
