Researchers found that the shape of zinc sulfide nanocrystals influences how well molecules (ligands) adhere to their surfaces. Flatter nanoplatelets allow for tighter ligand attachment, leading to advancements in technologies like LEDs.

Researchers developed CRISPRmap, an optical pooled screening approach that links the optical properties of single cells to targeted genetic perturbations. This technique enables high-throughput studies of gene function in complex tissues.

A study revealed that the majority of immigration to the Japanese Archipelago during the Yayoi and Kofun periods originated from the Korean Peninsula. Rresearchers found the closest genetic links to modern Korean populations.

A protein that is involved in determining which enzymes cut or unwind DNA during the replication process has been identified in a new study.

A team has created quantum shell scintillators composed of nanoscale particles, offering response times in the single-digit nanosecond range. This new technology provides improved spatial resolution and durability.

A study reveals a new method for engineering layered hybrid perovskites (LHPs) at the atomic level, focusing on nanoplatelets that control quantum well sizes. This technique improves energy flow and performance in LEDs and lasers.

A new study reconstructed the diet of the infamous Tsavo lions using ancient DNA from hairs found in their teeth. The findings revealed the lions consumed giraffes, zebras, oryx, and waterbucks.

Researchers have developed a method that turns silk moth cocoons into a shootable, sticky protein solution that works surprisingly like Spider-Man’s famous sticky webs.

A UC Riverside study reveals a low-cost method to enhance catalytic converters for hydrogen-burning engines, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. The new system increases the conversion of nitrogen oxides to harmless substances by four to five times.

A Cornell research team has developed an innovative technique to produce waterproof coatings for clothing from discarded textiles, significantly safer for humans and the environment than traditional coatings.
