Lungs are vital for life, but they face threats like cystic fibrosis or air pollution. When lungs get really sick, doctors might suggest transplants, but this isn’t always an option, and the body might reject them. Here’s where basal stem cells (BSCs) come in. These tiny marvels can repair and repla
Imagine trying to see what's happening inside a child's kidneys. Traditional scans can be tricky, but combining a special way of injecting contrast dye with a super cool scanning technology called dual-energy CT (DECT) is making a big difference. This method, known as split-bolus contrast injection,
You might think that dentists are only about teeth, but they can also play a big role in helping people quit smoking.

Did you know that tiny molecular layers can be grown and used as teeny-tiny energy storage devices on a chip? Scientists have found a way to create these using benzimidazole compounds. They laid these layers on a special surface withelectrochemical methods, creating films as thin as 10 nanometers. I
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have been making big strides, but they still face a major hurdle: energy loss. This loss limits how much better their performance can get. To tackle this issue, scientists have turned to a smart strategy called "ternary, " which helps fine-tune energy loss and boost effici
