By combining the use of drug-carrying nanoparticles with an organ-preserving machine, Yale researchers have developed a procedure that could help improve long-term outcomes for transplant recipients. A technology known as ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has emerged in recent years as a ...

Synthetic microparticles more intricate than some of the most complicated ones found in nature have been produced by a University of Michigan-led international team. They also investigated how that intricacy arises and devised a way to measure it. The findings pave the way for more stable fluid-and-...

What Is the Standard Model of Particle Physics? The Standard Model of Particle Physics is scientists’ current best theory to describe the most basic building blocks of the universe. It explains how particles called quarks (which make up protons and neutrons) and leptons (which include electrons) mak...

What is the Higgs Boson (God Particle)? The Higgs boson is a subatomic particle that was discovered in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. It is named after physicist Peter Higgs, who, along with several other scientists, proposed ...

Color changes of gold nanoparticles under the skin reveal concentration changes of substances in the body. The idea of implantable sensors that continuously transmit information on vital values and concentrations of substances or drugs in the body has fascinated physicians and scientists for a long ...

Discovery promises to help physicists understand nature of universe’s most abundant particle. In a scientific first, a team led by physicists at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) has detected neutrinos created by a particle collider. The discovery promises to deepen scientists’ understandin...

Particle accelerators, machines that speed up elementary particles, are pivotal in various sectors, including science, product development, healthcare, and national security. Utilized in over 30,000 operations worldwide, these accelerators have profoundly shaped our understanding of particle and nuc...

Particle accelerators, machines that rapidly propel charged particles like protons, atomic nuclei, and electrons to study their collisions, have deepened our understanding of the universe, especially in the realm of quantum physics. Particle accelerators are devices that speed up the particles that ...

Java developers aren’t left out in the cold by advances in container technology. This post highlights four popular Java-based Docker images, their configuration, and how they can help your team work more efficiently.

The men who built Hollywood . They made millions, created scandals, and, for the most part, ruined their kids. A story of children and childish adults

By tampering with the surface properties of drug-loaded nanoparticles, researchers from Yale University can potentially direct these particles to specific cells in the brain. By making nanoparticles bioadhesive, or “sticky,” the researchers have answered a long-standing question: Once you get the pa...

New research details how an electrocatalyst made up of copper nanoparticles provides the conditions necessary to break down carbon dioxide to form ethylene, ethanol, and propanol. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new elect...

Researchers from MIT used the CMS data to reveal, for the first time, a universal feature within jets of subatomic particles, which are produced when high-energy protons collide. In November of 2014, in a first, unexpected move for the field of particle physics, the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) exper...

Physicists at Emory University have shown how a system of lifeless particles can become “life-like” by collectively switching back and forth between crystalline and fluid states — even when the environment remains stable. This is the first experimental realization of such dynamics. “We’ve discovered...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have taken a peek into the secretive domain of quantum mechanics. In a theoretical paper published in the journal Physical Review A, they have shown that the way that particles interact with their environment can be used to track quantum particles when th...

The ability for cancer cells to develop resistance to chemotherapy drugs – known as multi-drug resistance – remains a leading cause for tumor recurrence and cancer metastasis, but recent findings offer hope that oncologists could one day direct cancer cells to “turn off” thei...
