EPFL researchers have developed preclinical models for invasive lobular carcinoma and trialed a new drug. It slows tumor growth effectively by targeting specific features of the disease and opening the door to future clinical trials. The study is…
We all know we live in three-dimensional space. But what does it mean when people talk about four dimensions? Is it just a bigger kind of space? Is it “space-time,” the popular idea which emerged from Einstein’s theory of relativity?
The applications of ultrathin, conductive films such as those made of graphene have many applications, but it’s been thought their efficacy is limited to absorbing only half of the incidental light at best. A research group in China has now shown…
Understanding the timeline of Alzheimer’s degeneration can improve support for those affected, and researchers have now built a new ‘molecular clock’ to predict the onset of symptoms years in advance, using established blood markers.
The time…

Nature does it again! The natural world has a knack for giving us the blueprints for some useful technologies, and the humble sea urchin is the latest contributor. Scientists have designed a new class of smart sensors by mimicking the internal…
Researchers from Skoltech have published a paper in the journal Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena presenting an analysis of steady propagating combustion waves—from slow flames to supersonic detonation waves. The study relies on the authors’…
A rare deep-field Antarctic flight campaign has uncovered unexpected aerosol concentrations over the continent’s interior. Antarctica is a key driver of Earth’s climate because it reflects a large share of the Sun’s energy back into space….
