Administrator Could eating less protein slow ageing? Protein is everywhere, but studies – mostly in non-human animals – suggest that limiting our intake could extend our lifespan 🔗 Read full article Source: New Scientist... research science
Administrator Flow Cytometry Threshold in High-Speed Cell Sorting: Optimizing Performance on the Bigfoot™ Spectral Cell Sorter The flow cytometry threshold determines which events are acquired and evaluated by an instrument, making it a foundational control point for data quality and downstream analysis. However, threshold co... equipment laboratory
Administrator Stanford scientists uncover why mRNA COVID vaccines can trigger heart inflammation Stanford scientists have uncovered how mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can very rarely trigger heart inflammation in young men — and how that risk might be reduced. They found that the vaccines can spark a two... devices medical
Administrator Misfolded insulin may be quietly driving diabetes Researchers found that insulin-producing cells depend on a team of helper proteins to keep insulin production on track. When one key partner was missing, damaged proteins built up and the cells made l... devices medical
Administrator A hidden brain problem may be an early warning for Alzheimer’s Researchers discovered that clogged brain “drains” show up early in people at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. These blockages, easily seen on standard MRI scans, are tied to toxic protein buildup linked ... devices medical
Administrator A strange quantum rule caps electrical resistance Physicists have uncovered a surprising limit to electrical resistance caused by particles colliding. Using ultracold potassium atoms trapped in a grid of light, researchers created a highly controlled... materials science
Administrator World-first photonic time crystal opens a new era of light control Scientists have built the first all-optical photonic time crystal, allowing them to reshape the behavior of terahertz light at extraordinary speeds. The breakthrough could open the door to ultrafast c... materials science
Administrator Twisted laser light can tell mirror-image molecules apart Scientists have created twisted laser beams that interact differently with right-handed and left-handed molecules, revealing their identity through the fragments they produce. The approach could provi... materials science
Administrator Ultrafast X-rays capture chemistry unfolding atom by atom Ultrafast X-rays revealed how a molecule converts absorbed light into motion in just trillionths of a second. Individual atoms recorded different stages of the process, opening a powerful new window i... chemistry science
Administrator This new alloy is up to 10 times stronger than steel and surprisingly flexible Engineers have transformed a notoriously brittle cobalt-aluminum compound into a material that is both extremely strong and capable of bending without breaking. Their nanoscale design produced a yield... chemistry science
Administrator New process turns plastic waste into hydrogen fuel while trapping the carbon A new chemical process can transform three of the most common plastics into high-purity hydrogen without sorting them first. The technique operates at much lower temperatures than traditional gasifica... chemistry science
Administrator Most neurons seem to be jacks-of-all-trades, not specialists We tend to think of the brain as being made up of highly specialised cells, but a study in mice suggests that most neurons are generalists 🔗 Read full article Source: New Scientist... research science
