Researchers have shown it is possible to expand the field of twistronics—literally. They have demonstrated a technique that allows them to fabricate oxide twistronic materials at much larger scales while also controlling the twist angles between materials that dictate their struc

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a technique to noninvasively visualize the brain's waste-removal system in unprecedented detail. This new imaging approach allows researchers to examine how this system is altered by conditions including ischemic stroke, agin

Two research teams at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) have developed a pioneering technique in Spain to characterize the proteome of individual cardiomyocytes—the cells responsible for heart contraction.

A new Houston Methodist study highlights a promising noninvasive imaging technique that could help doctors more accurately diagnose papillary thyroid cancer, the most common type of thyroid cancer.

To treat or manage various heart, gastrointestinal and neurological conditions, including arrhythmias, heart block, gastroparesis, epilepsy and some nerve injuries, doctors rely on a technique known as electrical stimulation. Electrical stimulation entails the delivery of small e

A revolutionary scanning technique has revealed that lithium MRI is a powerful tool for studying how the drug interacts with the brain and could offer more personalized treatment for bipolar disorder.

Hiroshima University researchers have demonstrated a proof of concept for the mass production of genome-edited T cells that can be used to treat malignant tumors, using a genetic engineering technique called Platinum TALEN.

A clinical trial led by St. Michael's Hospital researchers found that using nerve blocks, an anesthesia technique to numb targeted areas of the body, significantly reduced opioid use after cardiac surgery—findings the authors say could reshape how the potentially addictive drugs

Fractures of the femoral neck are not simply due to insufficient bone density. Also significant is their nanostructure—the orientation of the collagen fibers that make up bones, according to research conducted by scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI using a new X-ray tec

Scientists have developed a new method for accurately predicting gene changes that cause lung cancer, without the need for slower, more expensive lab techniques. The technology was able to identify specific genetic changes with high accuracy, offering a potentially faster, more e

Nerve blocks—local anesthetic injections that block pain signals—are a valuable opioid-sparing technique for controlling pain after surgery. However, some patients experience temporary sharp increases in pain as the nerve block wears off. This phenomenon, often termed "rebound pa

Researchers say a surgery that let pigs with completely severed spinal cords walk again may lead to human trials, and then perhaps even full head or brain transplants. Columnist Helen Thomson is intrigued but sceptical of whether the technique can be successful in humans
