Materials scientists have shown that it is possible to achieve photon up-conversion, – the emission of light with energy higher than the one that excites the material. This development brings scientists a step closer to developing minimally invasive photodynamic cancer treatments,

A newly published study shows that a small molecule has the ability to induce the self-destruction of pancreatic cancer cells.

Recently, Urania Therapeutics announced that it has successfully raised €3.53M ($3.89M) in seed funding to unlock the therapeutic potential of ribosome-based treatments. We spoke with Jean-Paul Renaud, President and CSO of Urania Therapeutics, to learn more about the mechanisms of readthrough compounds and how the company hopes to provide treatment solutions for orphan diseases.

Fiber-optic cables under the sea could one day help scientists study offshore earthquakes and the geologic structures hidden deep beneath the ocean surface.

A new study has discovered that animal-like embryos evolved long before the first animals appear in the fossil record.

New research has shown how it is possible that objects stand out less when they are surrounded by similar objects, which could help improve our understanding of how the brain transforms light into an image.

Research which suggests that structures previously thought to be fossils may, in fact, be mineral deposits could save future Mars missions valuable time and resources.

There are key networks within the brain that interact to increase risk of suicidal thoughts or attempts, according to a new study.

Researchers have developed a device that bridges the fields of optical and electronic computing, which could pave the way to faster and more energy efficient computer memories and processors.

A novel vaccine and complementary skin test to protect cattle against bovine tuberculosis (bovine TB) have been developed, that could save many from culling.
