KAIST researchers have developed a way to reprogram immune cells already inside tumors into cancer-killing machines. A drug ...

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) researchers have created a new carbon-negative building material that could transform sustainable construction. The breakthrough, published in the high-impact ...

Researchers studied rainforests in northeastern Australia. These wet rainforests are very dense, and their canopies help cool down their ecosystems and store large amounts of carbon. Robert Linsdell ...

Scientists have detected the uptake of nanoplastics in farm animal cell cultures. The results provide evidence of potential risks to animal health, meat production and also human food safety.

A diet rich in the amino acid cysteine may have rejuvenating effects in the small intestine, according to a new study from MIT. This amino acid, the researchers discovered, can turn on an immune ...

A salt called guanidinium thiocyanate can improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, a new class of semiconductor that could make solar power cheaper and more powerful, according ...

Prisons prioritize security over comfort. But concrete walls, steel doors, sealed windows, limited ventilation, lack of tree cover and outdated infrastructure converge to create dangerously hot ...

Respiratory viruses, such as the flu and COVID-19, may be able to “wake up” dormant cancer cells in patients who have a history of cancer, according to a new study. Researchers tested this hypothesis ...

Although the respiratory system is one of the main entry points for microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) from the air into the body, little is known about the effects of these tiny particles on the ...
