Markers associated with vitamin D deficiency occur regularly in teeth from industrial era England, showing "clear evidence" of seasonal vitamin D deficiency.

A high-precision, short-wave infrared imaging technique has advanced the imaging of nanoparticles, paving the way for promising applications within biomedical and information security.

New research demonstrates a new class of hydrogels that can form not just outside cells, but also inside of them. The team created these hydrogels from protein building blocks designed using a computer to form a specific structure.

Researchers have developed a machine learning-based classifier, which utilizes metabolic profiles of serum samples, to accurately identify people with ovarian cancer.

Enzymes typically found in laundry detergent could be used to chemically recycle single-use bioplastics, such as those found in coffee cups and food containers.

A team has developed a new self-assembly method to fabricate multilayered 2D nanosheets. A nanosheet is an extremely small, lasagna-like material made of ultrathin layers of polymers and nanoparticles.

In the search for better electric vehicle batteries, researchers have discovered adding electrolytes to lithium batteries enhances their functionality.

A study involving the University of Granada (UGR) and published in the journal Cardiovascular Diabetology has shown that sclerostin plays a protective role against the development of atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Our understanding of the world relies greatly on our knowledge of its constituent materials and their interactions. Recent advances in materials science technologies have ratcheted up our ability to identify chemical substances.

Cells can quickly detect and respond to minor changes in their environment, and their response is more complex than expected, reports new research.
