Researchers strike gold with improved catalyst
For the first time, researchers including those at the University of Tokyo discovered a way to improve the durability of gold catalysts by creating a protective layer of metal oxide clusters. The enhanced gold...
Cancer Vaccine Shows Promise in Patients with Pancreatic, Colon Cancer
Some cancer vaccines, such as mRNA-based vaccines, can be personalized and custom-made for each patient. Personalized vaccines—while promising—also have challenges such as cost and long production times. However, a cancer vaccine that could be used...
Down to the core of poxviruses
A recent re-emergence and outbreak of Mpox brought poxviruses back as a public health threat, underlining an important knowledge gap at their core. Now, a team of researchers from the Institute of Science and...

Momentary Open and Shut Change in HIV-1 Glycoprotein Structure Could Inform New Vaccine Design
Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) investigators used a technique called time-resolved, temperature-jump (TR, T-Jump) small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) to capture the spectacularly brief moment during which the HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoprotein undergoes a structural...
Scammed! Animals ‘led by the nose’ to leave plants alone
University of Sydney researchers have shown it is possible to shield plants from the hungry maws of herbivorous mammals by fooling them with the smell of a variety they typically avoid.
