The latest Global Carbon Project report reveals that global CO2 emissions, hitting a record 36.8 billion metric tons in 2023, are far from the reductions…
Professor Emiliano Cortés, at LMU, is revolutionizing solar energy capture through nanotechnology. By developing plasmonic nanostructures, his team creates materials that concentrate solar energy more…
The NLRP3 inflammasome, vital to the human immune system, is also linked to various diseases. Its core component, the ASC protein, forms a dense structure…
The two spheres represent holes in an ordered magnetic array of spins (illustrated with compasses). Due to this magnetic environment, the hole dopants bind in…
Cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells divide and grow in an uncontrolled way. These abnormal cells can form tumors and can spread to…
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), especially the behavioral variant (bvFTD), is difficult to recognize in the early stages because it is often confused with psychiatric illnesses such…
