Researchers have developed a new inorganic scintillator film that can be used to cancel out the afterglow effect — a phenomenon that causes residual shadows and blurring in X-ray images.

Researchers have developed a thermochemical approach, making it possible to recover valuable chemicals from polystyrene waste in a simple two-step process that could enable the recycling of insulating and packaging materials.

In recent years, scientists have created microbe-semiconductor hybrids that can be used to generate sustainable, environmentally-friendly products. Imaging has now shown how energy conversion happens in these microorganisms.

Scientists appear to have discovered a way to produce a true structure of the rare but naturally-occurring anti-HIV compound Lancilactone C from start to finish.

Researchers developed and synthesized two highly effective ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobes. These nanoprobes enabled the visual and quantitative detection of pesticides in food and environmental water.

Through genetic analyses, a collaborative research team has shown that a 46,000-year-old roundworm discovered in the Siberian Permafrost is a previously undescribed species. The research is published in PLoS Genetics.

Researchers have shown that auto-aggressive T cells that cause damage in multiple sclerosis (MS) are activated in a specific area of the intestinal canal and that activation is microbiome-dependent.

Scientists have found a way to use nanotechnology to create a 3D "scaffold" to grow cells from the retina – paving the way for potential new ways of treating a common cause of blindness.

Scientists develop two novel silver cluster-assembled materials with enhanced stability and excellent selective Fe3+ sensing ability.

Using a new method, researchers have discovered how the hepatitis C virus evades the human immune system.
