Metabolism comprises the crucial, life-sustaining chemical reactions occurring within cells and tissues. Mitochondria, in particular, are critical hubs for such biochemical transformations. Although ...

Iridium-based catalysts are widely used in green energy technologies, but existing methods to measure active sites on iridium catalysts are imprecise. New research from Northwestern Engineering’s ...

The development of new therapeutics targeting protein kinases is crucial in the fight against diseases like cancer.

We developed a method using nitrocellulose membranes and image analysis to localise and quantify acid phosphatase activity in the rhizosphere of two plant species, one with cluster roots (Dryandra ...

A research team led by UC San Diego has, for the first time, shown that a wearable, non-invasive device can measure activity in human cervical nerves in clinical settings. The device records what the ...

Measuring human brain activity down to the cellular level: until now, this has been possible only to a limited extent. With a new approach it will now be much easier. The method relies on ...

How do scientists peer into the brain to better understand what is happening, where, and why? By taking advantage of the brain’s electromagnetic properties or by sending radioactive markers into the ...

Lupus disease complexity and variability makes accurate measurement of disease activity very challenging. Measurement of disease activity in lupus is central to clinical research and clinical trials ...

InBody, a South Korean company that makes comprehensive body composition machines, is now bringing the core of that technology to your wrist with the InBody Band. The daily activity tracker does the ...

This is the moment of the quantified self. It’s not clear which parts of our measurement moment will prove faddish and which will stick. But in the meantime, new evidence suggests that when we do ...
