What if the size and temperature of a tiny electronic component could change how well it stores multiple values? That's what researchers found out when they looked into ferroelectric field effect transistors, or FeFETs. These mini devices can store more than one value, making them super handy for ta
As 2024 draws to a close, mortgage rates are on the rise again. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is now just below 7%, the highest it's been in six months. This increase comes despite the Federal Reserve's recent rate cut. The central bank, however, is less optimistic about further cuts this

In the heart of Kütahya, Turkey, a unique study is shedding light on the health education needs of rural women. Researchers zeroed in on Köprüören village, focusing on women who were attending literacy courses at the local education center. These women, aged 15 and above, became the core of the stud
Have you ever wondered why so much health data goes unused? It's mainly because of privacy issues and rules around data protection. This is where Apheris comes in. Founded by German entrepreneur Robin Röhm, this startup is tackling the problem of using AI in life science and pharmaceuticals. You se
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are crucial for fighting cancer, but many people with liver cancer (HCC) who have lots of these cells still face early relapse or resistance to treatments. Scientists don't fully understand why this happens. They studied 20 patients with liver cancer and CTLs to figure
Young adults starting their nursing training in Germany face a tough road. Health literacy, or understanding health information and services, can be a big help. But how does it really impact their health and well-being? And what role does self-efficacy, or belief in one's own abilities, play? These
Scientists are finding an unexpected hero in the fight against cancer and inflammation: plants. They've discovered tiny bubbles made by plants, called PDNVs, that can safely carry important genetic messages to the right cells. These messages can help cells fix broken genes or fight diseases, making
Have you ever wondered how stories can be retold in ways that break the rules? Ali Smith, a creative writer, does just that in her books Girl Meets Boy and The First Person and Other Stories. She takes old tales, like Ovid's Metamorphoses, and gives them a fresh, queer spin. In Girl Meets Boy, Smith
