Hyperspectral imaging has the potential to better detect skin cancer to improve the survival rates of patients.
Is the river really dry? Scientific interpretations of zero flow readings
An increasing number of streams and rivers that formerly flowed all year are beginning to experience dry periods due to changing climate and water withdrawals for human use.
A new, inhaled siRNA therapeutic option for asthma
A nanocarrier that can deliver siRNA into the lungs is investigated for the treatment of severe asthma and other lung diseases.
Conserved elements in viral genomes may provide targets for broad-spectrum drugs
RNA elements that are found in the genomes of numerous representatives within the same virus family provide new opportunities to expand the repertoire of targets for the development of antiviral therapy.
Tackling the cooling challenge with a chiller efficiency policy in India
Demand for chillers to cool spaces like airports and shopping malls is expected to grow dramatically over the next three decades.
