Sodium metal batteries are a big deal because they can store a lot of energy. But there's a problem: tiny branches called dendrites can grow inside them, which messes things up. These dendrites cause the battery to lose power and even short circuit. Scientists have found a clever way to deal with t
Metabolomics is a fascinating field. It's all about studying tiny molecules in living things. To make sense of it all, researchers analyzed over 80, 000 studies. They used advanced computer programs to turn this massive amount of data into something understandable. First, they converted study summa
In the world of medicine, molecules can be tricky. Some look almost the same but behave very differently. This is especially true for chiral molecules, which are like mirror images of each other. One version can be helpful, while the other might be harmful. So, finding a good way to separate them is
A big study looked at how a protein called ApoB, which helps move fats around in your body, might affect a skin condition called atopic dermatitis (AD). This condition causes red, itchy skin and is quite common. The study used data from over 450, 000 people in the UK. Scientists measured ApoB level
Plants face big problems from metal poisoning in soil. This is a real issue for farmers. But there is a new hope. Tiny particles, called nanoparticles, might be the answer. These particles are super small. They can do big things. First, let's talk about the problem. Too many metals in soil can hurt
Scientists have created something cool: new tools that can spot harmful metals in water. These tools are special because they can tell the difference between zinc, cadmium, and mercury. Plus, they do this in water, which is a big deal. What makes these tools even better is that they are easy and ch
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a big deal worldwide, especially when it's caught late. The sooner we find it, the better the chances of beating it. Now, scientists are looking at the tiny bacteria living in our guts to help spot CRC earlier. Our guts are home to trillions of bacteria, and these tiny cr
Cancer cells are sneaky. They find ways to survive and grow, even when the body tries to stop them. Recent research shows that cancer cells steal fat from the blood. This fat helps them build strong walls and protects them from dying. Cancer cells use special sugar chains to grab fat molecules. The
Fritillaria thunbergii, a plant packed with useful compounds, is often grown for its medicinal bulbs. But growing too many plants just for profit has led to a drop in quality. So, scientists decided to test how shade and potassium affect the bulbs' growth and the useful stuff inside them. They foun
Brain cancer is tough to beat. Doctors use special tools to fight it. One tool is stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). It zaps cancer with precise radiation. But sometimes, the brain swells around the tumor. This swelling is called perilesional edema (PLE). Does PLE make the treatment less effective? R
