An innovative nanogel delivery system created at the University of Massachusetts Amherst enabled mice with obesity to revert to a normal weight while maintaining a high-fat diet. A University of Massachusetts Amherst biomedical engineer has used a nanogel-based carrier designed in his lab to delive

Researchers from the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Physics, in collaboration with experts from the QOT Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies, have pioneered an innovative technique that allows the fractional Fourier Transform of optical pulses to be performed using quantum memory. This achi

The discovery overturns more than a century of physics orthodoxy by identifying a new form of energy that can be extracted from ambient heat using graphene. Obtaining useful work from random fluctuations in a system at thermal equilibrium has long been considered impossible. In fact, eminent Amer

Researchers have identified an alarming source of plastic pollution in Californian strawberry farms. Plastic mulch, a common tool in promoting strawberry growth, has been found to shed significant amounts of plastic fragments into the soil. This phenomenon adversely affects soil qualities and calls

In a ground-breaking experiment, researchers from the University of Groningen collaborated with their peers from Nijmegen and Twente universities in the Netherlands, and the Harbin Institute of Technology in China. Together, they confirmed the existence of a superconductive state that was first pred
