A new discovery about how tiny protein clusters form in cells could pave the way for treatments for Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, a rare genetic disorder.

Scientists have developed sapphire nanostructures that resist dust, fog and glare while maintaining durability. This breakthrough could lead to scratch-resistant screens, clearer lenses, and surfaces that stay clean without water.

By subjecting a compound through a series of carbon nanotubes, scientists can compress it to the point of breaking down and forming novel one-dimensional materials.

Researchers have developed highly efficient, stable blue QLEDs that do not use toxic metals. Their quantum dots last nearly 30,000 hours, marking a major step toward sustainable, high-performance displays.

Researchers developed a metal alloy that resists deformation under extreme impact. By introducing nanoscale barriers, they suppress dislocation movement, enhancing durability for aerospace, armor and automotive applications.

Researchers have developed a freeze-drying approach that preserves biocement-producing bacteria, potentially allowing construction workers to ultimately use powder out of a packet to quickly make repairs.

Researchers have developed a CRISPR-based test that diagnoses Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) — a life-threatening fungal infection primarily affecting children and immunocompromised patients — more quickly and less invasively.

A Stanford University-led team has found two antibodies that can work together to defeat all SARS-CoV-2 variants. More research is needed, but the approach could help in the development of treatments to keep pace with evolving viruses.

Encasing nanodiamonds in tiny moving droplets of water can improve quantum sensing, new research suggests. The new technique lets scientists detect trace amounts of certain ions and molecules for environmental monitoring, medicine and more.

Researchers have uncovered how biofuel alcohols, like butanol, damage microbial membranes, limiting production efficiency. This new insight paves the way to improving biofuel yield and economic viability.
