Only female bees have the ability to sting because the stingers are also an alternative tool to lay eggs. The reason they even sting, is because they feel threatened and their priority is to protect the queen bee. […]
Immortal quantum particles
Reading Time: < 1 minuteTHEORETICAL physicists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems have discovered that things which seem inconceivable in the everyday world are possible on a microscopic level. “Until now, the assumption was that quasiparticles in interacting quantum systems decay after a certain time. We now […]
Sensory nanoparticles to detect disease
Reading Time: < 1 minuteINVESTIGATORS from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston are taking advantage of a unique phenomenon of nanoparticles to develop a test for early detection of different types of diseases, including cancer. Through previous investigations, Morteza Mahmoudi and colleagues have shown that biomolecules in the blood of healthy individuals and patients form various corona profiles around […]
