Researchers have developed an entirely new method for starting chemical reactions. For the first time, they used mechanical forces to control catalytic activity — one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry. This allowed them to initiate chemical reactions with mechanical force. This discovery paves the way to developing materials capable of repairing themselves under [...]

Parents and school nurses take note. Lice are a nuisance and vectors of serious diseases, such as epidemic typhus, in developing regions. New research indicates that lice may be quite unique in the animal world. In a study published in Genome Research, scientists analyzed the mitochondrial genome of the human body louse and discovered that [...]

Cholera patients also infected with parasitic intestinal worms have a significantly reduced immune response to the cholera toxin, according to a new report. Results of the study suggest that parasitic infection could reduce immunity to future cholera infection and may compromise the effectiveness of cholera vaccines.

A geologist has discovered a modeling technique during his research into how planets are formed which can also be used to detect heart defects. The finding has already helped surgeons at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital confirm the location of a potentially life-threatening blood clot.
