The development of a cutting-edge graphene sensor has led to the creation of an interface that is able to accurately control a robot using thought alone. The development has positive implications not only for healthcare but for a range of other industr… Continue reading New graphene sensors make for better brain-machine interface
Despite treatment, the survival rates for women with ovarian cancer remain poor, and the chance of the cancer returning is high. But there could be hope for women whose cancer has returned following chemotherapy in the form of a promising cancer-fighti… Continue reading Promising ovarian cancer drug in phase 3 clinical trials
The challenge of creating next-gen organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays has been finding a way to improve color brilliance without lowering electrical efficiency. Now, researchers have found a way to achieve this by applying a fundamental scien… Continue reading Fundamental science enables creation of efficient, more colorful OLEDs
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released its latest report, pulling together the findings of previous reports to provide a more complete picture of how human-caused climate change continues to affect the planet.Continue Reading… Continue reading Latest IPCC report on climate change: “More ambitious action” needed
When someone mentions waves, we are most likely to think of the beach and surfers riding breaks to shore, not the waves deep beneath the ocean’s surface. Now, new research has shed light on the important role underwater waves play in climate change.Con… Continue reading Underwater turbulence revealed as a key factor in climate change
A tea that’s been around for more than 900 years might be just what the doctor ordered as a treatment for depression, a new study has revealed. Already renowned for its health benefits, researchers have now demonstrated matcha tea’s antidepressant-like… Continue reading Humble tea’s antidepressant properties confirmed
Swimmers who wore Speedo’s controversial LZR Racer suit at the 2008 Beijing Olympics broke 23 out of the 25 world records broken, proving that being more streamlined has advantages. A new study out of Japan has shown that the same theory applies to spe… Continue reading Protein behind streamlined sperm opens door for male contraceptives
Humans have bitter taste receptors not only in their mouths but in their lungs, too. Researchers have exploited these receptors’ innate ability to dilate the airways to create a potent new drug that may change how we treat diseases like asthma and COPD… Continue reading Drug that activates bitter taste receptors offers new treatment for asthma
Caffeine is consumed worldwide in coffee, tea, and soft drinks, and its health benefits have been studied for years. Now, researchers have looked at the genes associated with caffeine metabolism to determine how the level of caffeine in the blood affec… Continue reading Higher blood caffeine levels may reduce weight, risk of type 2 diabetes
Much of the Earth has been modified by humans, which has a flow-on effect on natural ecosystems, including the insects that carry disease. For the first time, researchers have examined when and how environmental change affects the transmission of insec… Continue reading Increasing human footprint influences spread of insect-borne diseases
