Detecting disease with a single molecule: Nanopore-based sensors could transform diagnostics
The sensor is a glass tube whose tip is melted into a sharp needle-like structure that is immersed in a liquid containing molecules. Credit: Kevin Freedman/ImageFX/UCR Scientists at the University of California, Riverside have developed a nanopore-based tool that can diagnose diseases much faster and more accurately than current tests by capturing signals from individual molecules. The molecules that scientists…

Research claims that all observables in nature can be measured by a single constant.
This diagram shows three events in Minkowski spacetime. Event 𝐵 does not exist in the past or future of 𝐴, 𝐴 ~ 𝐵, and event 𝐶 does not exist in the past or future of 𝐵, 𝐵 ~ 𝐶. Nevertheless, 𝐶 ≁ 𝐴. Indeed, 𝐶 is in the future of 𝐴: 𝐶 ≻ 𝐴. Credit: Scientific Reports (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-71907-0…

Delivering mRNA- and RNAi-based therapies in a single treatment has the potential to fight complex diseases
Simultaneous gene recovery and knockdown with single-drug NPs and co-delivered dual-drug NPs using mRNA and siRNA in two cell lines. Credit: ACS Nanoscience Au (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acsnanoscienceau.4c00040 Researchers at the University of Ottawa may have cracked the code for harnessing both mRNA and RNAI-based therapies to improve treatments for cancer, cardiovascular disease and other complex diseases. The success of COVID-19…

A new paradigm for quantum emitter control – modulating and encoding quantum photonic information on a single optical stream
Comparison of surface morphology and influence of inverted physical deposition technology on P(VDF-TrFE) films. Credit: ACS Nano (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.4c10528 A multidisciplinary team at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed a new paradigm for controlling quantum emitters, providing a new way to modulate and encode quantum photon information in single-photon light streams. Quantum photonics is expected to provide…

New research shows that most of the space rocks that hit Earth come from a single source
The sight of a fireball streaking across the sky brings wonder and excitement to children and adults alike. It reminds us that the Earth is part of a much larger and incredibly dynamic system. Each year, approximately 17,000 of these fireballs not only enter the Earth’s atmosphere, but also survive the perilous journey to the surface. This gives scientists a…
