A new study led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) shows the impact of early amyloid-β and tau protein accumulation on disrupting connections between brain structures that are important for memory.
Drugmakers have been using genetically modified cells as small drug factories for over 40 years. These cells can be instructed to produce chemicals that can be utilized to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases like arthritis.
Perovskite solar cells exhibit great potential for enhanced energy-conversion efficiency; however, they degrade in sunlight, causing their performance to deteriorate over time.
Mechanical actuators are devices that generate and transfer energy into the machines and systems that are used every day. In spite of a century of research, actuators are still unable to match the dexterity, power density, and efficiency of biological muscles.
