The use of new imaging methods has enabled the identification of novel structures on the surface of B cells, which affect the distribution and potentially the function of their antigen receptors.

The shape of nanoparticles has been found to be a decisive factor in their efficiency as catalysts for the production of green hydrogen.

Methanotrophs – methane-consuming organisms – have been proposed as a biological solution for removing methane from drilling sites, but these sites are high in hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic to most methanotrophs.

The “river-tunnel effect,” may mean that subway riders waiting in stations near tunnels that run below New York City’s rivers are exposed to higher levels of hazardous pollutants than are found in other stations.

A new study of sunscreen-like chemicals detected in fossilized plants suggests ultraviolet (UV) radiation contributed to mass extinction events. The research is published in Science Advances.

A new study identifies the genetic underpinnings for why broccoli heads become abnormal when it’s hot, providing insight into effects of climate-induced warming for all crops and pointing the way for breeding heat-resistant new varieties.

The high levels of ultrafine particle air pollution at airports has been found to partly consist of synthetic jet oils. Thus, emissions from lubrication oils must be lowered, in addition to those from kerosene, to improve air quality.

Research has shown that a complex of two protein variants plays a significant role in toxoplasmosis infection, caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which can infest any warm-blooded animal.

According to research, a prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/MRI can successfully determine whether cancer is likely to return within two years of a prostatectomy.

Polystyrene-derived nanoplastics have been found to facilitate the formation of manganese oxide, which can affect the fate and transport of organic contaminants in natural and engineering water systems.
