Live imaging is a powerful tool in life science, helping us see how cells and tissues work. But it comes with a hidden hazard—phototoxicity. This happens when light used for imaging damages cells. Researchers, using small intestinal epithelial cells grown in 3D, called enteroids, found that even low
Imagine you're trying to build a better machine for breaking down pollutants in water. One clever way to do this is by tweaking the machine's tiny parts, creating some missing pieces on purpose. In this case, scientists used ZnIn 2 S 4 nanosheets and left out some zinc atoms, creating what are
Have you ever wondered about the secrets hidden in tiny crystal structures? Scientists have discovered something remarkable: a material called CuInP2S6 has an amazing ability to emit light when exposed to certain types of light. This effect, known as second-harmonic generation (SHG), is stronger in
Did you know that B19V, a tiny virus, can cause big problems for pregnant women? It's responsible for fetal hydrops, a serious condition. But creating a vaccine against it has been tough. Scientists have now found a clever way to make a vaccine using tiny protein particles shaped like spheres. They
Israel and the militant group Hezbollah are in the midst of intense peace negotiations. The US has presented a new ceasefire proposal, which Hezbollah is considering. The proposed deal includes a 60-day pause in fighting and has terms that align with a 2006 UN resolution. The Lebanese army might pla
Volcanoes once erupted on the moon's far side, just like on the side we see, according to new research. Scientists examined dirt and rocks brought back by China's Chang'e-6 spacecraft from the moon's little-explored far side. They found pieces of volcanic rock dating back to 2. 8 billion years, with
Imagine having a tiny, smart tool that can target cancer cells with precision and efficiency. That's what porphyrin-based nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are doing in the world of cancer treatment. These tiny structures are like superheroes, combining the powers of photodynamic therapy and
Imagine tiny, gold-silver nanoparticles acting like superheroes, helping us detect harmful substances in milk! These nanoparticles, shaped like triangles, hexagons, and pentagons, are about 23-26 nanometers in size. They're created through a simple process called seed and growth, then placed on a ti
Video cameras are vital for safety, but with so many hours of footage, figuring out what's normal and what's not can be tough. This research uses the power of ResNet50, VGG19, EfficientNetB7, and the superstar ViT_b16 to smartly shrink video files. By pinpointing key frames, the system avoids exhaus
Nanozymes, tiny materials that mimic enzymes, are becoming big news in science. They combine the best of both worlds: the unique properties of nanomaterials and the helpful functions of enzymes. This is the first time someone has used a special method called bibliometrics to study all the research d
