Can [60]fullerene maintain good health and prolong lifespan?

AoS. Can [60]fullerene maintain good health and prolong lifespan?

Fatalists aside, who doesn’t want to live longer and in good health? But, obviously, to live longer it would be nonsense to put our health at risk. Yet, since we published a paper in 2012 on prolonging

Should You Get a Glucometer?

AoS. Should You Get a Glucometer

Monitoring your body glucose level gives you essential information about how diet, exercise, medications, and other aspects can affect your health. As diabetes can last a lifetime, using a glucometer is beneficial. The data in the glucometer

Ti3C2-MXene based fluorescent biosensor for rapid detection of lung cancer biomarker

AoS. Ti3C2-MXene based fluorescent biosensor for rapid detection of lung cancer biomarker

Over the last decade, zero-dimensional (0D) and two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials such as nanostructured metals, and graphene derivatives delivered an extraordinary impact as fluorescence quenchers or energy acceptors in developing fluorescent biosensors. However, these OD/2D materials have a

How To Equip Field Hospitals For Disaster Response

Disasters can strike anywhere, and emergency staff should be trained and ready to assist to the best of their abilities. However, the care given in an emergency would need an array of medications and equipment to help

LASER Wavelengths: Generation and Modification

AoS. Laser

“Laser” (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) technology has proved useful in many applications, from scanning product barcodes at the local supermarket to atomic imaging in sophisticated particle physics labs. The hallmark of these devices is

Chronic cough cured by proxy

AoS. Chronic Cough Cured by Proxy

Chronic cough causes a severe burden on an individual’s quality of life. Habit cough is a chronic functional cough, meaning it has no physical basis. Habit cough is identified as an involuntary daily repetitive dry cough that

Gas types affect stability of microbubbles and ultrasound mediated brain-targeted drug delivery

AoS. Gas types affect stability of microbubbles and ultrasound mediated brain-targeted drug delivery

Ultrasound (US) is used for clinical diagnosis and therapy. Microbubbles (MBs) as US-contrast agents are applied to detect micro blood flow or specific lesions. Recently, the combination of MBs and US has received much attention for drug

Feedback between organisms and the environment shape biodiversity

AoS. Feedback between organisms and the environment shape biodiversity

How does the environment shape biodiversity? This is a central question for both the scientific understanding of ecosystems and for practical initiatives in sustainability. Previous work has shown that a heterogeneous environment promotes diversity. For example, variation
