Measuring tiny differences in mass between different quantum states provides new insights into heavy atoms.

Rice University researchers find evidence of piezoelectricity in lab-grown, two-dimensional flakes of molybdenum dioxide.

Olanzapine, a generic drug used to treat nervous, emotional and mental conditions, also may help patients with advanced cancer successfully manage nausea and vomiting unrelated to chemotherapy. These are the findings of a study published Thursday, May 7, 2020 in JAMA Oncology.

Researchers using a technique known as 'lucky imaging' with the Gemini North telescope on Hawaii's Maunakea have collected some of the highest resolution images of Jupiter ever obtained from the ground. These images are part of a multi-year joint observing program with the Hubble Space Telescope in support of NASA's Juno mission.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the ground-based Gemini Observatory in Hawaii have teamed up with the Juno spacecraft to probe the mightiest storms in the solar system, taking place more than 500 million miles away on the giant planet Jupiter.

In physics, thermalization, or the trend of sub-systems within a whole to gain a common temperature, is typically the norm. There are situations, however, where thermalization is slowed down or virtually suppressed; examples are when considering the dynamics of electron and nuclear spins in solids. Understanding why this happens and how it can be controlled is presently at the center of a broad effort, particularly for applications in the emerging field of quantum information technologies.

Despite a national opioid-related overdose epidemic that continues to claim tens of thousands of lives annually, a new nationwide study shows that a scant proportion of hospitalized patients with opioid use disorder receive proven life-saving medications both during and after they're discharged.

Inspired by the biomechanics of cheetahs, researchers have developed a new type of soft robot that is capable of moving more quickly on solid surfaces or in the water than previous generations of soft robots. The new soft robotics are also capable of grabbing objects delicately -- or with sufficient strength to lift heavy objects.

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is a United Nations Organization agency commissioned to regulate international telecommunications between different operating administrations and businesses. Pursuant to specific recommendations by this organization, on 1 July, standard Y.3172, an architecture for machine learning in future networks (5G and beyond), was approved for telecommunications networks.

With a discovery that could rewrite the immunology textbooks, an international group of scientists, including the teams of Bart Lambrecht, Martin Guilliams, Hamida Hammad, and Charlotte Scott (all from the VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research) identified a new type of antigen-presenting immune cell.

Regular processes in the environment improve our eyesight.

Lipids are essential building blocks of cell membranes, which control the exchange of substances and energy between a cell and its environment. Developed at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, a new open-source software tool PCAlipids aims to analyze lipid behavior.

Given the rapid spread of COVID-19 and its relatively high mortality, filling the gap for coronavirus-specific drugs is urgent.

When seeking the fastest pathway to a vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), defining the stakes and potential hurdles is critical, says Barney Graham in this Perspective.

Researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina show in a new report that the RNA interference machinery, normally thought to reside in the nucleus or cytoplasm, predominantly localizes to these apical junctions and influences cell biology in the colon. Interestingly, in colon tumors, this localization is dysregulated and may shift the balance of RNAs to promote tumorigenesis.

The direction of ocean currents can determine the direction of gene flow in rafting species, but this depends on species traits that allow for rafting propensity. This is according to a City College of New York study focusing on seahorse and pipefish species. And it could explain how high genetic diversity can contribute to extinction in small populations.

One hospice ITV News spoke to is three days away from running out of protective gowns needed to treat patients with coronavirus.

The officer’s injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

The incident led to panic among locals within a three-kilometre radius.

In the community, the rate of transmission is probably as low as 0.5/0.6, which means its progress through the population has been arrested.

Closures dragged total sales down, despite a 109.6% jump in online retail sales for the month – the highest increase on record.

General Sir Adrian Bradshaw revealed the losses ahead of VE Day on Friday.

Celebrations will be very different during the coronavirus lockdown.

Hospices are set to receive weekly supplies of critical personal protective equipment from the government.

Major events were cancelled due to coronavirus, but there was still the chance to bring some colour to the event.

France reported 56,989 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, and the country's death toll is the fourth highest in the world at 4032.

Donald Trump has in recent days turned the war against COVID-19 into a war against the states, in a desperate effort to shirk responsibility for his pandemic denialism.

At 8pm, applause rings out from our neighbours' balconies, punctuating the night. It's a new tradition, but when the applause dies down, the jarring reality of our situation is brought home.

The sight of voters waiting in long lines to cast ballots during a pandemic and poll workers wearing HAZMAT suits stunned many Americans.

We already know one thing about that pick: It would be a woman, as Biden pledged in a recent debate.

The toxic partisanship and gridlock that have defined recent American politics are re-emerging with vengeance amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The appeal reflects an increased effort by the Trump campaign to use US-China relations as a campaign issue against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

As a rule, if the economy is going well then US presidents get re-elected. If it's going badly, they lose. But will that hold in a global health emergency?
