A new study shows that, by dragging space-time, supermassive black holes can rip apart the violent whirlpool of debris (or accretion disks) that encircle them,…
A Northwestern Medicine study challenges conventional beliefs about Parkinson’s disease. Previously, the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons was thought to trigger the disease. This new research…
Arousal disorders, including sleepwalking and sleep eating, lack established treatment guidelines. A new systematic review identifies potential treatments and emphasizes the need for structured guidelines…
Traveling to distant locations offers enriching experiences, but jet lag’s unpleasant symptoms can mar the journey. A new study used a theoretical model to explore…
Skin bleaching reduces the concentration of melanin in the skin, leading to a lighter appearance. The process involves the application of topical agents containing substances…
A new study from Northwestern University has found a reverse “Flynn effect” in a large U.S. sample between 2006 and 2018, where ability scores in…
A close-up look at the bandage’s two electrodes: : A tiny flower-shaped electrode that sits right on top of the wound bed and a ring-shaped…
Researchers from Northwestern University and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, have observed nanoparticles self-assembling into solid materials for the first time, offering valuable insights for…
Physicists observed a microparticle curving around a cylindrical obstacle and sticking to its backside, rather than colliding into it or sailing around it. Researchers discovered…
Fluorescent images of human neurons (stained with red, green, and blue) growing on coatings with fast-moving molecules (left) or conventional laminin (right) for 60 days.…
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…
Magnetic fields created by skyrmions in a two-dimensional sheet of material composed of iron, germanium, and tellurium. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory Small magnetic whirlpools could…
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…
