The vertical electrochemical transistor is based on a new kind of electronic polymer and a vertical, instead of planar, architecture. Credit: Northwestern University Efficient, low-cost…
Earthquakes are sudden and intense shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates or volcanic activity. They can occur anywhere in the…
Scientists have developed a new technique for discovering and synthesizing new crystalline materials composed of two or more elements. These materials have potential uses…
The discovery could open the door to interventions aimed at slowing down or even reversing the aging process. A previously unknown mechanism that drives aging…

A boycott is a form of protest in which individuals or groups refuse to buy or use a particular product or service in order to…
Artist’s impression of GRB 211211A. The kilonova and gamma-ray burst is on the right. The blue color represents material squeezed along the poles, while the red…
Using several highly sensitive instruments and sophisticated galaxy modeling, the researchers pinpointed the galactic homes of 84 SGRBs and probed the characteristics of 69 of…
Scientists have shown they can extend the lifetime of a molecular qubit by changing the surrounding crystal’s structure to be less symmetrical. The asymmetry protects…
The drug allows children to sleep through the night instead of scratching. More than half of the children treated saw a greater than 75% reduction…
New research has shown for the first time that energy release may be the molecular mechanism through which our internal clocks control energy balance. These…
Deinococcus radiodurans (affectionately known as “Conan the Bacterium”) is particularly well-suited to surviving Mars’ harsh environment. In experiments, it survived astronomical amounts of radiation in…
After the intervention, the patients had less agitation, anxiety, and depression. A novel music intervention fosters an emotional connection between patients and their caregivers. Dementia…
In the future, the researchers hope to identify the common targets of the cold and hot circuits in order to learn how each might impact sleep.…
Recent research reveals that a substance generated by gut microorganisms can cause scarring and blood vessel damage in scleroderma patients. The same metabolite is connected…
A new Northwestern Medicine study finds that Gen Zers and millennials are approximately two times more likely to be newly diagnosed with high blood pressure…
PFAS are a large, complex category of manufactured chemicals that are found in many commonplace products. A new method beheads PFAS, causing it to break…
